Ranges where numbers newly observed in July 2026 cluster (three or more). A range is never bad by itself — plenty of legitimate numbers share it.

Methodology

These figures aggregate our phone-intel corpus: regulator complaint feeds (among them the US FTC Do Not Call and FCC consumer complaint data and several European regulators), our own honeypot number fleet, independent complaint sites we crawl, and reports filed by the Numbers Online community. Only publicly displayable sources are counted, and numbers verified by their owner as personal are excluded throughout.

A number counts as active in a month when its observed-activity window overlaps that calendar month (UTC); newly observed means it first entered our corpus during the month. Activity dates reflect when a source last observed a number — never when we crawled it. Report totals are the cumulative counts our sources carried at publish time, not in-month deltas.

Each month’s figures are snapshotted when the report is published and never restated afterwards, so historical reports stay stable even as the live corpus grows. Month-over-month movement compares one publish-time snapshot with the previous one — never a frozen snapshot with live data.

Everything here is a supplementary signal — advisory, not a verdict on any number or its owner. Category labels are low-confidence and describe what reporters allege, not established fact. A number range is never bad by itself: plenty of legitimate numbers share every prefix shown. No individual phone numbers appear in these reports — aggregates and prefixes only.
