Original Summary

I get a LOT of scam calls every week and cannot reliably block them because they spoof their caller ID. But they CANNOT spoof the call back number they leave on my voicemail.<p>So I made Numban - You share the voicemail left by scammers, Numban extracts the call back number they left, looks up the carrier or RespOrg, and files an abuse complaint.<p>Numban checks the number periodically and when it detects that it has been disconnected, it lets you know that you helped kill a number. There&#x27;s a leaderboard to track reports and kills.<p>The goal is not just to file abuse reports but to also establish a pattern of organizations that enable these scumbags.<p>So help out! Install the app (iPhone only for now) and tap &quot;share&quot; next to a scam voicemail. It will transcribe it and ask you to verify the correct number and then we&#x27;ll file the abuse reports.<p>Hopefully with enough data we can shut down some of these operations by cutting off the phone number suppliers.<p>Testing is helpful and if anyone knows a lot about TCPA, phone routing, RespOrgs, and associated legal recourse, I would love to talk to you!
