Where do I report a fraudulent text message?
The reporting channel we have verified for your country, a text you can copy into your report and how to warn other people about the number.
Where to report it in your country
The channel NoCall has verified for reporting phone scams in your country:
An Garda Síochána (your local Garda station)
Report text, ready to copy
Fill in what you know; the text updates as you type. Nothing leaves your browser until you paste it somewhere.
Warn other people in NoCall
Open the number’s page in NoCall to see what others say and add your report.
What to do in any case
- If you lost money or gave card or bank details, call your bank right away and report it to the police.
- If you entered passwords, change them and turn on two-step verification.
- Tell your mobile operator about the message and the number it came from.
- Report the number in NoCall so that other people are warned.
- Keep a screenshot of the message, then delete it.
A name or a number on the screen proves nothing
Scammers can make a text message show a brand’s name or someone else’s number (spoofing), and the fake can even land in the same conversation as the real messages. What gives a fake away is where its link goes.

Which countries it covers
A verified channel for each country where NoCall has checked one; general advice everywhere else. We only name a channel, a phone number or a website after verifying it.
The report text is built in your browser: nothing you type is sent or saved.
Frequently asked questions
Should I forward the text message to someone?
Only to the channel listed here, or to your bank or operator if they ask for it. Don’t forward it to friends: the link stays dangerous.
Is it worth reporting if I didn’t fall for it?
Yes. Reports help to spot a campaign sooner, and in NoCall your report warns everyone who looks up that number.
Why don’t you give a phone number for my country?
We only give channels, phone numbers and websites that we have verified for each country. If we haven’t verified one, we say so rather than guess.
