Time To Move On
I used to go to their website when I got calls from numbers I did not recognize. However, the site is being littered with troll posts and the dog pile mentality of some of the regulars is getting out of hand.
They think they are helping others but often come across as unprofessional. The most recent numbers are not available which is not that great. I like to see what the number is so I can decide whether to block it ahead of time. I now use a call blocker app on my phone to see what others have to say while avoiding personal attacks and other nonsense.
I occasionally use Google as well.
It is even harder to find useful information with Post Pending Moderator Approval on nearly every page in the forums which have both trolls and shills using as tneir playground. The site is still useful but there are better alternatives.
800notes - Website Review
I had a strange experience there, I asked if there was ever a scam victim from the scam (topic in forum) reported anywhere and my question was simply ignored, as if nobody could see it. Others went on about similar scams, but no one addressed the topic scam anymore.
Today I go and my comment has been deleted, so I re-posted my question and again it was deleted.
Are they hiding the fact that some reported scams are just rumors? From what others here are saying, I'm staying away from there!
800Notes Phone Number Lookup Fake Review
These people from 800notes are troublemakers! They stalk review sites, post a bunch of nonsense and then brag about it in their forums.
The last 2 reviews are filled with them posting like kids pulling a prank and then tell lies about Pissedconsumer too! Look at the "votes" they are so fond of using like a score chart.
800notes are employees posing as POSTERS?
I am so sick of seeing such nasty posts from supposed regulars at 800notes that i have to write about it. After trying to research some numbers that called me during the week, i seen quite a few posts from regulars i have seen in the past...slim, bigA, tigercat etc...rude, disturbing, vile treatment of people.
So i started noticing if the poster made a good point and called these so called regulars out, there posts would be removed. See the thing is, the posts were removed in seconds or a matter of a minute. It would be gone! I saved some of these posts to see if they were ever put back up, "PENDING MODERATOR APPROVAL, they never were put back up, and none had broken the rules, so if these flaggings were legitimate, after the mod read it, it would be put back up.
Telling me, that none of this was legit, But the posts by the regulars who DID BREAK THE RULES, would remain, how would they have the power to get these post's removed so fast? While claiming to be regular posters? None of this seems legal to there own site rules. There is only one thing that comes to my mind is that these are not regular normal signed up posters, they could very possibly be employees of the place, it has to be, how can a site allow such bullying?
Such breaking of rules? If these were non employees, there could not be one possible reason to not kick them off the site for there nasty behavior. The owner of this site is leaving it all in there hands. By the way i am sure that 800notes employee's will be coming here to argue my point, guess what troll's, this is NOT 800notes, and your arrogance will not work here.
Your reputation is getting louder and louder, and more and more, and i for one will not tolerate being treated in this manner or anyone else to be subject to your bullying.
There is other sites, and one by one your losing posters, for every person you offend.... there going to pass it along....and it just keeps growing.
- Egomaniacs
- Giving stars to regulars and negatives to legit posters
- Instant fake post pending moderator approval
Preferred solution: Clean up this site of bulling nasty posters
Excellent source
5 Stars! This is a wonderful resource in detecting calls that are fraudulent, Robo dialers or harassment.
With notes left by others who experience unknown callers, it is easy for me to determine numbers I should block on my phone. For the owners of numbers who are reported on this website, maybe they should reconsider their tactics when contacting people. Any legitimate business should not use a Robo dialer. Although convenient on one side, from the side of a consumer, Robo dailng has a very negative reputation.
The more consumers are empowered, the less fraud, scam is in harassment will take place.
I appreciate 800 notes. Thank you!
Angry And Frustrated
My sister called from her work and I had looked up the number because I missed the call, not knowing it was her calling. I found out her cell died and needed me to go to her house for something.
I went to 800notes to clarify it was someone I knew and just mentioned her work name and its a good number. These trolls just started saying I'm taking money from babies and old people. Never mind going there again, it's some scam collecting site or something like that. I didn't really get what they were saying, it didn't make sense to me.
I just got angry and too frustrated to continue wasting time there, trying to explain myself or give them the address and other things they asked to prove myself. I don't have to prove anything to trolls!!

800notes FAKE NEWS is an extortion website with FAKE NEWS
CYBER-THREATS, BULLYING, DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER BY THE "REGULAR, RESPECTED" POSTERS a/k/a ""WolfmanJack","BigA"
800notes had been a very good, very informative site. I was the victim of a serious PayDay Loan scam, and 800notes truly helped, then.
At the present, 800notes has a veritable cornucopia of rude, defamatory, name-calling, judgmental posters ("WolfmanJack" & "BigA", specifically), who CYBER-BULLY, THREATEN and DEFAME other legitimate posters. Is it narcissism? Is it lack of cyber-etiquette? Is is childish, moronic and just plain wrong?
YES!!! I'm disgusted by posters who tell others how or what he (or she) should post. It's disgusting, and it refutes the reputation of a potentially assistive website.
It's cyber-hijacking by bullies and goons.
Preferred solution: Get rid of the trouble makers, "BigA" and "WolfmanJack" and others who critique the posts of others with no purpose
Very helpful
- Being able to ascertain if an unknown number is unscrupulous

Do you even know what that site is for, where did you get the idea they stop scammers or that your complaining here would stop them? If you want to stop callers, get a call blocker!
Is this a review or a rally call incite a protest against them?
What exactly is it your asking us to do here, sounds like you have a serious gripe with this website!
What does that mean, no one validates stories? Did anyone validate your story here?
If you think its a waste of time going there, then why keep going there? Don't tell me how I should spend my time based on how you waste yours!
Its a discussion board, so what does that even mean, "NOT JUST TALK/WRITE ABOUT IT ON A WEB SITE"??
What did you mean about imagining going to the police and reporting a crime?
I don't see your connection between a discussion board and a police station.
People share their unwanted call experiences, not report crimes to the police there. I think your "review" is a cry for help, but you should be going to a medial or therapy group website to get help with a personal problem.
Wow, you sure put a lot of effort to tell about your opinion of a website where people just share their phone experiences. You must go there a lot, but if thats the case, why do you keep going back to a site you feel isn't for you?
I really don't know what it is your review is about, other than the fact you keep visiting a website you don't seem to like. To each his own I guess.
Original Poster,
Not sure why you think 800 Notes can do to stop these scammers in their tracks. The website is there for others to share information about phone calls they received.
It is impossible for the website to know who you are let alone know who called you or why they called. Phone numbers are spoofed making it harder to track down scammers. How can they report scammers or even stop them? I do not understand your logic here.
As to the bullying, some of the registered users (regulars) do that.
However, not all registered users are bullies. There are trolls and shills littering the site with garbage. That website is not a waste of tme and I research unknown numbers that call me. Sometimes there is information there and sometimes not.
I do not expect 800 Notes to stop nuisance calls.
I use common sense and a call blocker. That website is not so e consumer protection agency.
