About EndSpam
EndSpam is a community-run reputation service for phone numbers. People who receive an unwanted call or text report the number; EndSpam moderates those reports, aggregates them, and publishes a public page for numbers that enough independent people have flagged. It is free to use and focused on Australia.
What we publish
A number gets a public page at /number/<number> only when it has at least three approved community reports from at least two independent reporters, at least one approved written comment describing the call, and no verified-owner claim or open dispute. Numbers below that bar can still be looked up on the home page, but they don't get an indexable page — one or two reports are not enough to say anything reliable about a number, and they could identify a private individual.
Each page shows the report count, the number of independent reporters, what people reported the number as, the most recent reports in their own words, the carrier and area the number is allocated to, and a risk level. Nothing on a page identifies a reporter.
How reports are moderated
- Every report passes automated checks for spam, abuse and personal information before it counts. Reports that fail are held and never shown.
- Written comments are reviewed before they appear publicly. Comments that name individuals, include phone numbers or other personal details, or make accusations we can't support are edited or removed; an edited comment is marked "Edited by moderator".
- Reports from the same person or device are counted once. A number's "independent reporters" figure is what the risk score and the public-page threshold are based on.
- Duplicate, retracted and obviously mistaken reports (wrong number, legitimate business) are weighed against the rest rather than hidden — a number that many people report as a legitimate business is labelled that way.
How the risk score works
The 0–100 risk score combines three things: how many independent people reported the number, how recently it was last reported, and what they reported it as (scam reports weigh more than telemarketing). The score maps to a Low, Medium or High risk level. It is a summary of community reports, not a verdict — a High score means many unrelated people had a bad experience with the number recently, not that every call from it is malicious.
If it's your number
Businesses and individuals can claim a number and, after verification, have their name shown on its page or dispute the reports against it. While a dispute is open the number's public page is withdrawn. Claims and disputes are handled through the number's page or by email.
Privacy
Looking up a number never stores it in plain text — numbers are hashed before they are saved, and only numbers that meet the public-page threshold are ever written out in full. Reporters are never identified on a public page. The full detail is in our privacy policy.
