Like many others, I use various Call Service apps and websites. When I get one of THOSE CALLS, I search to see what's said about THAT NUMBER. In my own experience, the number of click bait pages seems to be going down, with apps or single number search pages going up.
Howsoever, there's one thing that seems consistent on click bait pages: 100% SCAM. You get a web page with hundreds or up to 10,000 numbers to click on to find out about, all bogus.
It's all or mostly fake. I don't know if the page is fully generated by my search, or I get directed to a "fill in the blanks" page from my search.
How can you tell? Two ways, both exposed by the data returned.
First: If you get a whole bunch of names, take a look at the names returned, themselves. Lots of "Annyone U Thinkkof" names. In the USA, there is a fairly consistent distribution of common surnames. If you don't find e.g. Smith, Jones, Brown, Johnson, Rodriguez, Miller, Davis, etc., in the last names, or e.g. James, William, Mary, Patricia, Sarah, etc., as first names, then there is an algorithm running that creates nearly real names.
Second: Addresses created for the names often are for street address thst do not exist, either totally bogus street names or numbers that don't exist either.
These types of pages returned are good for the Scammers and bad for you.
