Browsing the Public Scams Database

What is the Public Scams Database?

The Public Scams page on the superMila website is a free, openly accessible database of real scam and spam calls shared by the community. You don't need an account or login to use it. It's designed to help you recognize scam tactics, understand how different scam types work, and know what to watch out for before you pick up the phone.

Every entry shows details about the scammer — such as their name or number, the scam category, the reason the call was flagged, and a brief summary — while the person who received the call remains completely anonymous.

How calls are organized

Calls are listed with the most recently published entries at the top, so you can always see the latest scams circulating in the community. Each entry includes:

• The caller's name or phone number
• The scam category (for example, phishing, impersonation, prize scam, etc.)
• The reason the call was flagged
• A brief summary of the scam

Listening to a recording and reading the transcript

For many calls in the database, you can hear exactly what the scammer said and read the full conversation. Here's how:

1. Go to the Public Scams page on the superMila website.
2. Browse the list and find a call you'd like to review.
3. Click the play button on that entry to listen to the audio recording directly on the page.
4. To read the full conversation, click the Transcript section to expand it (where available).
5. Review the category, flagged reason, and summary to understand the scam type and the tactics used.

Tips for getting the most out of this resource

• Pay attention to the language, urgency, and requests the caller makes — these are common patterns across many scam types.
• Check the scam category and reason for flagging to quickly understand what kind of threat each call represents.
• Return regularly, since new community-shared calls are added and appear at the top of the list.
