We built GhostCallers because US scam calls deserve a fair fight.
Robocalls and scam calls in the US have ballooned into a multi-billion-dollar industry. AI voices, spoofed caller-IDs, and rotating numbers mean a scammer can call thousands of people a day from a single laptop. STIR/SHAKEN helps, but it can't catch everything. GhostCallers exists to flip that asymmetry — a free, fast, privacy-friendly place where anyone in America can check a number and warn the next person about a bad one.
What we are
GhostCallers is a community-powered reverse phone lookup service for the United States. Every report is written by a member of the public who answered the phone and decided to share what happened. We do not buy data, we do not scrape databases, and we do not pretend to know more than we do.
What we are not
We are not a regulator, a directory of personal information, or a substitute for the FTC. Reports on GhostCallers are user-submitted opinions, not statements of fact. We rely on our moderation queue and your "report this comment" button to keep things accurate.
How we make money
GhostCallers is funded by display advertising and is free to use for everyone, forever. We never sell user data and never have. Our cookie banner gives you a clear "essential only" choice on every device. Read our privacy policy for the detail.

A small team with backgrounds in security engineering, consumer journalism, and product design. We can be reached at hello@ghostcallers.com.
