A free directory of the real phone numbers for banks, agencies and companies that scammers copy, checked daily against each company's own website.
Many scams end with a phone call. A text, email or pop-up gives a number "for your bank" or "for support", and the person who answers is the scammer. Search results are not safe either: scammers buy search ads and build fake help pages for exactly these searches.
Flggd Safe Numbers shows the real number instead. It is free, and it covers banks, government agencies, delivery firms, phone companies and online services in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Ireland and New Zealand.
Anyone can type in a number to see whether it belongs to the company or has been reported as a scam. Flggd is not affiliated with any company listed.
The rule behind it is simple: never call a number that a message, a pop-up or a caller gave you. Hang up, then call the number on the back of your card, in the company's own app, or on Safe Numbers.
“Most victims don't find out it was a scam until the money has gone. The time to check is while it's still a message.”
Richard Stocks, CEO and co-founder, Flggd

Flggd helps people spot scams before they pay. Anyone can check a suspicious text or screenshot for free on the web, or scan a QR code in the Flggd app, and learn the patterns through short guides and games. Banks and credit unions offer SafeLine, so their members can check a message before acting.
