I no longer participate on 800notes

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Here is how 800notes describes itself: "800notes is a FREE REVERSE PHONE NUMBER LOOKUP database built by YOU, its users. Our strength is in our numbers - by sharing pieces of information each of us has we are putting together a free and public phone number directory with information no other service can provide." The underlying intent of 800notes is noble. I've learned a lot about scams from reading the info the site. I simply cannot tolerate the rudeness from established members. Often a person has received a phone call from a scammer and they are frightened because the scammer has said something like "you owe money and if you don't pay, we will have you arrested." Sure, informed people know it's a scam but I've seen many posts where people are genuinely concerned. Some are even scared. Many people don't understand that scammers do not care about the Do Not Call List. Many don't even know what the DNC List is. But instead of being kind and trying to educate others about the murky world of telemarketing and scam artists, the rudeness begins. Immediately, a spate of "thumbs down" is registered. People then post comments that seem condescending. Granted, electronic messages lack intonation and I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but visit 800notes and you will see exactly what other people who have posted on Pissed Consumer are saying. 800notes may have moderators but there is really no moderating on the site. It completely defeats the site's purpose. It is counterproductive.

Cons:
  • Abject bullying and meaness of established members
Reason of review:
Rudeness, condescension, cyber-bullying, inept moderating, not true to what they say they do, complete waste of effort and time.

Preferred solution: I no longer use 800notes and I urge others to avoid the site.

If you have time to waste go to 800 notes - THEY DO NOTHING TO STOP SCAMMERS/SCAMS

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I you have time to waste & are looking to vent go to 800 notes. Why do i say this? Because the sad fact is that reporting scams/scammers to 800notes does nothing to stop the scammers. 800 notes is just a site where people tell their stories ( true & false) and no one at 800 notes validates their accuracy &/or validity. Nor does 800notes take action against the scammers to stop them! Again, I ask you - "Why then are you wasting your time unless you have lots of time waste? About the only thing you gain is possibly knowing someone else received the same call and then reporting that you got the same call. You have no idea if the number was spoofed or not and since 800notes does nothing to put a stop to scammers, why are you wasting your time? I can't think of one really good reason. Can you? Please post if i am missing something. *800notes DOES NOT DO anything to stop Scammers or unwanted callers! *800Notes PRIMARY GOAL IS TO SELL AD SPACE TO CREATE REVENUE! *800notes sells advertising space on their site to target those who visit! It's simple - do not pick up any call you do not recognize. If someone needs to speak with you they will leave you a message. If they leave a message then "maybe" they are legitimate .. but even many of these calls are scammers. Sadly, picking up the phone alerts the scammers, thieves and law breakers that your number has a "Live" person aka "target" behind the number. So, best practice is not answer unknown calls and if someone does leave a message be very skeptical. If you do decide to call them do so only after reading the FTC GOV article "10 Things You Can Do to Avoid Fraud" & "Phone Scams". LETS STOP THE SCAMMERS & CRIMINALS & NOT JUST TALK/WRITE ABOUT IT ON A WEBSITE THAT DOES NOTHING TO STOP SCAMMERS! Tip for consumers: 800notes does nothing to report or stop the scammers/criminals to authorities or telephone service providers . Can you image if you went to the police & reported a scammer/criminal & they said sorry we just collect information but don't do anything to stop them! LETS STOP THE SCAMMERS & CRIMINALS & NOT JUST TALK/WRITE ABOUT IT ON A WEB SITE THAT DOES NOTHING BUT COLLECT INFORMATION AND SELL AD SPACE.

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!

Guest

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.

Guest

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.

Guest

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.

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!

Would like to see Martha McSally added to that list!

So much for “clean elections”!

We have received a death threat from one of Martha Mcsally’s possible political robo-calling thug campaign members.

The threat was in response to reporting on Martha McSally’s constant political robo-call abuse of the elderly, and their homes. Virtually every robo-call siezes the line so no calls can be made out in an emergency. They have no conscience, nor concern about violating FCC regulations robo-abusing elderly homes.

800notes are employees posing as POSTERS?

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

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.

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!!

Mostly Good

I agree that there was a lot of bullying, particularly by one or two registered users. One in particular, Slim, appeared to be somewhat angry. That said, my experience has been largely positive. I had a couple of posts get attacked but I just chalked it up to someone having a bad day. Many of the regulars take the time to provide useful information and on occasion even find the "owner" of the number calling me. I've been the recipient of useful links and additional suggested readings from random users and registered users alike. Someone asked, "why does this site need moderators?" I have seen some foul mouthed posts that needed to be removed as well as clear attempts to advertise their products or promote scams. Personally, I like knowing the moderators are there. It keeps the site civil and protects it's integrity.

CYBER-THREATS, BULLYING, DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER BY THE "REGULAR, RESPECTED" POSTERS a/k/a ""WolfmanJack","BigA"

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

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.

AGREED to poster from Sawyer, Michigan!

if you notice the people opposing your comments seem to be/ I suspect are moderators from 800notes.

Sad they come here to pissedconsumer dot com stalking & trolling the people they bullied at 800notes.

These people don't have a life!

Why does 800notes need registered users or moderators?

it is an information sharing site!

not a place for moderators to bully those sharing information they don;t understand or don't like. too bad there is no one overseeing these moderators and sadly the TOS published on the web site says nothing about being respectful and decent to those who post.

Guest

You think we can't figure out you're the same one that posted the SAME RANT with a bunch of info that was collected from other posts over on ripoffreport. Such a sad little troll and posting several times on this one just shows you're a fool

Guest

I agree!

800notes dot com has become a playground for cyberbullies. A number of miscreant registered users ( BigA aka BigAss, TygerKat aka PussyCat, TheRealseriously aka therealstupid, Slim aka ImreallyFat, Ismellascam aka Ismellbad, & Heinz57 aka IgotfiredfromHeinz, are the perpetrators and display behavior congruent with many of the diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Disrespect, anger, hostility, arrogance & aggression (cyber bullying) is the domain of those with low self-esteem and also tend to be more “shame-prone.” “Shame is what a bully attempts to hide. … They are anxious about the exposure of their failures or shortcomings. The bully gives away his shame by denigrating you and, as a result, a bully will make you experience shame about your own inadequacies.” In other words, the bully makes himself a winner at your expense, forcing you to become the shame-ridden loser. they use this behavior as a way to feel good about themselves.

Can't believe I tried to report a number and my experience when i was ganged up on and attacked by this bunch of moronic twits all for asking a few simple questions that none of them could answer.

BigA aka BigAss, TygerKat aka PussyCat, TheRealseriously aka therealstupid, Slim aka ImreallyFat, Ismellascam aka Ismellbad, & Heinz57 aka IgotfiredfromHeinz are nothing but a bunch of priggish Cyberbullies on a site that is there to inform the public. Yet they find pleasure in belittling, demoralizing , denigrating anyone that questions them.

Just a pack of out of work losers.

the regulars on 800 notes have no lives or they are employed full time by 800 notes to verbally attack others who are just there to see if a phone # is legit or a scam. They are a bunch of losers and there are many other sites that do it better without all the drama from the so called regulars I prefer to call them( no life losers).

When I get called by a scammer and post the # on 800 notes I prefer not to have an online argument with some *** clown.

These pukes must have poor esteem so they inflate their little egos every day by trolling on 800 notes. Bunch of losers with many many complaints.

800notes is ran by government shills. Julia forte, simply does not exist, she is a fabrication and obsession of the moderators.

There is no official contact information, this allows the agents to collect the data about spammers and telemarketers. The alias of Celtic Dragon is used by Kerry Chatwin. And yes he is as rude in person as he is online. He uses many aliases to hide his identity, while writing nonsense that is deliberately published to confuse the public.

800notes.com was one of the 1st, if not the 1st, for one to be able to enter an unknown number and quickly see how many other people were being contacted and learn if it was a telemarketing, scam or some other type of call. Yes, there were many clueless people that expected 800notes to stop the calls. What a joke, the gov't can't even do that. But, I can block the calls. Since 800notes does what it is intended, I can only believe most of the negative reviews are from crackpots or competitive businesses. I am not associated with 800notes in any way other than using their service over the years.

Jack's Review of 800notes

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have read many things on 800notes and about them on other sites , but i do not understand the reasoning behind those who make such fake ones. I go there to look up unknown calls I don't recognize and post about the ones I found out about. For the most part, my time spent there has been fine, no one gave me a hard time when I posted about call that was my bank's fraud dept and I didn't know at first. Someone there said not to trust unknown calls because it could be a scammer spoofing the number and call the number on the back of your card. I hadn't thought about it until reading that, so I did and resolved the issue they called about. There are a lot of people posting informative things I found useful to read, not that they applied to me, but I did learn that posting about a legitimate call isn't what anyone wants because it could be a scammer saying that to fool you into thinking its not. To summarize, I don't even know why there are so many reviews for an otherwise boring website with info about a bunch of calls. I had no problems and learned while visiting and I would recommend anyone looking to find out who called them go there and see. I mean its not like theres any money exchanged or giving up personal info, you can post anonymously for crying out loud!
