Questions
Asked and answered
How do I find out who called me in Australia?
Type the number into BadCall's lookup box, exactly as it appeared on your phone - 0412 345 678, (02) 9876 5432, +61 412 345 678 and 1300 numbers all work. You'll see the BadCall Score, what other Australians reported, who the caller claimed to be, the region for landlines, and whether a business lists the number.
Is BadCall free?
Yes. Looking numbers up, reading reports and posting reports is free, with no account and no app to install.
What is the BadCall Score?
A number from 0 (safe) to 100 (bad call) worked out from everyone's reports. Each report counts as bad, not sure or safe; recent reports and reports other people found helpful count more, and a single report can only move the score so far. 70 and above is a Bad call, 40-69 is Caution, below 40 is Probably safe.
Can I report a scam text message?
Yes. Choose 'Texted me' on the report form and paste the message. Links are made safe automatically (written as example[.]com), so others can recognise the scam without being able to tap it. You can also check a message first with the free Scam Text Checker.
Is reporting anonymous?
Yes. You don't need an account and your name is optional. BadCall never stores your IP address - only a one-way code used to stop spam and double votes.
Someone posted a wrong report about my number. What can I do?
Flag the report (the flag button under it), add your own report saying who the number belongs to, or contact us to ask for a review. Reports that several people flag are hidden automatically.
Where should I report a scam to the authorities?
Report scams to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au), run by the National Anti-Scam Centre. If you lost money or gave out bank details, contact your bank immediately, then IDCARE on 1800 595 160. Report cybercrime to ReportCyber at cyber.gov.au.
