BULLYING MODERATORS at 800NOTES

Have been using this site for years but when I defended myself from surly snarky arrogant comments by their Insiders those with registered Names Icons TheRealSerious Slim and Heinz57 the moderator had all my comments removed - even though I made numerous valid points This site seems to encourage employ mostly impatient self-congratulating men who have nothing better to do than to criticize the very people whom they encourage to use the site to report unwanted spam calls Many of these insiders use their position to display their self-determined superiority and belittle disparage those whom they think are less than dumber and by that inferiority have somehow caused themselves to be victim of - or have failed to prevent - these calls even though most of us are inundated with this scourge beyond our control If only we ignorant peons were all as smart and tech-savvy and have lives that EXACTLY match those 800Notes wizards who grace us with their wisdom and advice that is perfectly suitable to all situations no matter what with no room for diversity of experience

A website largely consisting of misinformation controlled by a community of trolls

800Notes is a great example of why crowdsourcing information often simply leads to mass paranoia and misinformation especially when it s commandeered by trolls who throw around accusations without any effort in verifying the information themselves After a long period of using this site to quickly look up phone numbers from calls I would receive throughout the day I decided to contribute to the site when a number finally turned out to be legitimate This number was verified with the institution involved In my comment I noted that I did not have to provide personal information as the institution already had it all on hand as they should if they are legitimate and that they called only to confirm that a transaction was not fraudulent I was immediately accused of being a scammer by trolls who obsessively harass commenters and brigade all numbers constantly Ironically the negative comments regarding the number on 800Notes were the only reason I decided to verify the number directly with the institution who completely contradicted the misinformation on the site proving that the site is more or less worthless in providing any legitimate and verified information Just use common sense If in doubt verify directly with those involved Don t rely on a website full of trolls who think they get to decide whether a number is legitimate or not based on nothing while berating anyone who has verified the contrary through the official channels

DO NOT POST HERE THEY SHARE SECURE DETAILS OF YOU POST

This website is terrible I searched a phone number that kept calling me and saw it said it was a scam But after researching it to the office where the past due bill originated because the debt collector referenced the specific office and provided their phone number of an account number I posted comments saying that this turned out to be a real debt collection company I called the original bill source and found out I did have a very past due bill that I forgot about and their bills didn t forward to my new address I tried telling people they should look into the original source find out if it s a true debt and pay the office directly NOT the debt collection company to avoid a collection on their credit There are two men literally harassing me in comments saying they know I m trying to perpetuate the scam because I must work with them Not only that they started asking why they couldn t find my employer information anywhere to prove I m real WHERE AND HOW would they be able to find that if I only provided minimal and private information to post in that forum Even if only moderators are able to see this private information then this website is even more disturbing than I thought The harassment and the security concern is terrifying and I ll be finding where and how to report this site It s not a place to post informative comments about 800 numbers It s a place that it seems frequent fliers and moderators use as another social media type of platform to get their fill of protecting their hateful lives onto others and harassing them along with numerous security and anonymity violations I am terrified that I ever posted there and there is no way to delete my comments to protect myself from further security violations

Don t fall for this

A lot of these helpful who called me sites are actually run by the scam callers

Wolf in sheep clothes

I agree with previous reviewer that 800notes is a bully I tried to stand up for someone who was being bullied and they turned on me They deleted my posts then called me a troll which I am not I always used respectful wording make good points explained why the number that called me was a robo and it s like they didn t even read it There are much easier ways of finding out if phone numbers are a scam I will not post on this site again and don t forget this ends with dot com They are tracking you I am still trying to get my sign up removed so they don t have my email Not that easy

Moderators Need Training

This is not so much a complaint as a suggestion BigA and Mikehuntleton screen names seriously detract from the purpose and enjoyment of the site They are moderators who serve a useful purpose when performing professionally However each has a tendency to belittle those who do not produce their version of a useful post Specific example I told my 71 year old aunt about the site because she had been getting a lot of unidentified calls on her land line She was afraid to answer for fear of scammers I told her to go to 800 notes and see if anyone posted about the number She called and said there was nothing there I said start the thread If someone searches the number they will see that entry and maybe add to it She posted something to the effect of got 2 calls from this number don t know who it is Now perhaps that s not the most useful post but BigA decided to comment on it Something to the effect of and you came here to give us this useless information why My aunt was devastated She said she would never do anything like that again With all do respect to this moderator what was the point of that comment If you found the post to be in violation of TOS take it down but to make such a statement is nothing but trollism I looked up a number and saw a post claiming that the number was a debt collector BigA posted something like why are deliberately lying that is not found anywhere The poster was clearly upset Saying something like I did not deliberately lie That s what I found in my search The poster said he she would never post again If the the information is incorrect delete it or point at that the information cannot be verified and may be erroneous Why behave so unprofessionally My suggestion is that the owner and administrators of the site develop and utilize canned comments that are posted with 800 notes logo This information cannot be verified or maybe the mods could take a more professional attitude I saw another post in which Mikehuntleton actually called someone a childish name My aunt mentioned previously lives in an assisted facility and has made it clear to all there that they should never post anything on 800notes all because of BigA s cruel and unprofessional comment The point of this site is people telling others what they know Whether or not it s correct is to be determined as more people comment I assume the business would like to continue to attract advertising but if people stop using the site they will not get hits and advertising will fall Perhaps some training for these persons or clearer rules of engagement should be constructed

They patronize the collection agencies

They patronize the collection agencies which is a direct conflict of what 800 notes is all about Collection agants hijack threads to post antagonistic or misleading information to entrap their victims after they can no longer take them to court by law 800 notes is some piece of work I tell ya

Mods are senseless low IQ low class
