Hey PH 👋 I’m the maker of Scam Catcher.
This started with a very ordinary problem: after enough breach fallout and spam waves, unknown calls stopped feeling random. I was ignoring everything and still wondering whether I was missing real calls.
So I built the tool I wanted right before tapping “call back.”
Scam Catcher checks any US number in seconds and shows:
• scam risk
• likely scam type
• confidence score
• supporting signals from FCC / CFPB complaint data, and community reports
A few things mattered to me from day one:
• no login
• free to use
• fast enough for the moment an unknown number hits your phone
• honest about uncertainty: this is a risk check, not a government ruling
I used AI-assisted tooling to build the first version quickly, then tightened the product around one question: Should I call this number back?
I’d especially love feedback on two things:
1. Does the confidence score feel intuitive and trustworthy?
2. What extra signal would you want before acting on a verdict?
If scam or impersonation calls are a real problem for you, drop the use case that annoys you most. I’ll be here all day and I’m happy to ship improvements from the comment
