About

NumBan is the first app to combat phone scammers using the number they leave on your voicemail, which cannot be faked. Most apps block the caller's phone number, which is a spoofed caller ID. Users can simply share the voicemail with NumBan and our system will transcribe it, extract the number, look up the phone carrier, and report the number to their abuse team. When we detect that a number has been abandoned, we count it as a kill and increment our leaderboard!

AI Summary

NumBan is an iOS app designed to report voicemail callback numbers from phone scammers, utilizing the authentic number left in voicemails rather than spoofed caller IDs. The app transcribes voicemails, extracts the callback number, identifies the carrier, and reports it to their abuse team, contributing to a leaderboard that tracks abandoned scam numbers.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
