Daily community reports
Users across Saudi Arabia report numbers impersonating Al Rajhi, STC Pay, and fake tech support. Each report feeds the database and reduces repeat victims.

Did you get a call from an unknown Saudi number claiming to be Al Rajhi, STC Pay, or a Haraj buyer? Do not reply before you verify. NumberShield lets you look up any +966 number in seconds, review community reports, and assess reputation before you share an OTP or transfer money.
The service runs in your browser with no app install. It is updated daily with real reports from users in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and across the Kingdom — not a stale phone book, but a live database focused on mobile fraud and financial impersonation in Saudi Arabia.
Pick a country, enter the number — results appear instantly
Smishing and WhatsApp messages impersonating Saudi banks request OTP or “account verification”. Real banks never ask for OTP by phone. Verify the sender number here before acting. Report via your bank app and the Kulluna Amn platform when needed.
Buyers pressure sellers for upfront transfers before viewing goods. Search the WhatsApp number; if others reported the same pattern, do not pay. Meet in public; avoid third-party accounts.
High-salary offers via WhatsApp with upfront “registration fees”. Legitimate employers in Saudi Arabia do not require wire transfers before a documented contract.
Missed calls from unusual country codes may trigger premium callbacks. Do not call back unknown international numbers; search the full E.164 format when available.
From your phone or WhatsApp, copy the full number. Saudi format 05xxxxxxxx works — the system understands +966 automatically.
Ensure country SA is selected, then search. Any community reports linked to the number will appear.
If the number is new but behaviour is suspicious, file the first report describing the pattern (bank, Haraj, jobs). Share the link to protect others.
How to protect yourself from phone scams in Saudi Arabia
For official reporting use the Kulluna Amn app or contact your bank directly.
A community-powered lookup for Saudi mobile numbers (+966) before you answer scam calls, send Haraj deposits, or share OTP codes with fake Al Rajhi or STC Pay agents.
Unlike generic caller-ID apps that mix Gulf countries in one feed, this locale page focuses on fraud patterns reported in the Kingdom: bank impersonation via WhatsApp, Haraj marketplace escrow scams, fake recruitment, and suspicious international callbacks targeting Saudi lines.
Enter a Saudi number (05xxxxxxxx or +9665xxxxxxxx). The system matches it against community reports and objections — without touching your contacts.
SMS or WhatsApp messages with a bank logo request “account update” or “suspicious transfer confirmation” via a short link or OTP.
Warning signs: artificial urgency, spelling mistakes, links not on official domains like alrajhibank.com.sa, OTP requests within minutes. SAMA has warned repeatedly — official verification happens only inside your bank app.
After you list a car or device, a buyer contacts you on WhatsApp from an unsaved number and demands an upfront transfer before viewing the item.
Search the buyer number here first. If others reported the same Haraj deposit pattern, do not pay. Golden rule: no money before an in-person viewing in a public place.
Scammers count on urgency — a 10-second lookup changes the outcome.
After listing on Haraj or receiving a random WhatsApp message, copy the full number and search here. Compare results with behaviour: OTP requests, deposit pressure, threats to “block your account”. Even when no report exists yet, documented suspicious behaviour deserves a first community report.
The Kingdom’s largest classifieds ecosystem is also a major fraud channel.
Never transfer to a third-party account not named in the ad. Meet in public locations. Search buyer/seller WhatsApp numbers before any STC Pay or bank transfer. If someone refuses in-person viewing while demanding urgency, treat it as high risk regardless of polite language.
Community reports complement — not replace — official action.
Use **Kulluna Amn** for criminal fraud, contact your bank via the official app for financial incidents, and use NumberShield to warn other users immediately. Combining both layers reduces repeat harm across Saudi Arabia.
Seconds of lookup can save thousands of riyals or protect your bank account.
Old directories list static company landlines updated rarely — they do not focus on +966 mobile or daily fraud reports.

We do not claim to show the owner name for every line — we focus on community transparency and warnings, which is what you need on a suspicious call.
Search does not pull your contacts. Reports are reviewed. Objections remove errors.
Use the service to verify unknown callers and protect yourself — not to harass or publish personal data for illegitimate purposes. See Privacy Policy and Terms for legal details.
In Saudi Arabia, where SMS fraud and bank impersonation via WhatsApp are widespread, verifying a number before you answer is a basic security habit. NumberShield aggregates real community reports, shows them instantly, and stays free in the browser.
Do not wait for the next fake Al Rajhi call — search any Saudi number now, or file a report if you have information that helps others. Every contribution strengthens a shared shield against scammers in Saudi Arabia.
Answers to the most common questions
Yes. Search and reporting are completely free with no subscription or hidden fees. We do not ask for card details and do not impose daily limits on normal lookups. The goal is keeping verification available to anyone who received a suspicious call in the Kingdom.
Yes. Many Saudi fraud cases start with a WhatsApp message or call after a Haraj listing demanding a deposit or transfer to an intermediary account. Search the number here before paying — you may find prior reports on the same number or scam pattern.
Hang up immediately. Saudi banks (Al Rajhi, SNB, Riyad Bank…) never request OTP by phone. Any OTP request via WhatsApp or a fake STC Pay call is fraud — report the number here then contact your bank only through the official app.
Search the number in the lookup tool, tap Report, and describe the scam type (bank impersonation, fake job, Haraj, etc.). The report appears to the community after review. For official action use the Kulluna Amn app or Absher depending on the incident.
No. You enter numbers manually — we never request contact permission or upload your address book. Privacy is core to the design, especially with telecom impersonation scams spreading in the Kingdom.
Traditional directories focus on landlines and registered companies updated rarely. We focus on +966 mobile, daily community fraud reports, and local patterns (Al Rajhi, Haraj, fake jobs, international callbacks). Updates are continuous, not a static archive.
Accuracy is highest for numbers with reports or repeated searches. A brand-new number may have no history — in that case file the first report to warn others. Quality improves as more users contribute in Saudi Arabia.
Yes via the objection section if your name or number appears incorrectly. We review requests per the privacy policy and remove or correct data when an error is proven. Responsible use means reporting fraud, not targeting individuals.
