I recently went online to check a number for possible Spam and spotted an Ad' for 'Wotcha'.
Apparently this is a free Ap' for mobiles to check for scam/spam calls.
Anyone had any knowledge of this system ?
Thanks

    The reviews on Google Play aren't encouraging  - it's free if you are happy for them to spam you with ads!

    It appears to be just a caller ID / number blocker - my Samsung does all that anyway and doesn't make me watch ads for the privilege.

    Similarly my Google Pixel shows up calls as spam - I think it's an Android feature, no need for another app

    Used to be "who called me.co.uk"but if you type that you get "wotcha" they cannot even spell "available" and website is a mess with faulty email address for contact etc. They even block Manchester VPN IP addresses as if they were from abroad. Original site was brilliant but this just looks like a scam. Totally unprofessional.
