Why Should You Use 800Notes

With an increase in crimes like identity thefts, credit card detail thefts and many more similar thefts, it is very important for every citizen of the country to remain informed about what is happening around them. Especially when these incidents are often seen happening through phone calls.

Scammers or thieves fetch all the information they need to through such phone calls, where they either pretend to be an official representative of the firm you have an account with or try to be someone authoritative so that the person attending the call would get intimidated and would give them the answers for the questions asked.

This is why it is highly important to be vigilant when you get phone calls from numbers which show ‘unknown’ as a caller ID. If the number that has called you is a scammer, there are chances you are not their first catch, which is why 800Notes, collects all the complaints against such numbers and shows the comments made by these people about the same number that is trying to reach you.
