It's kinda crazy how paranoid people have become around stuff like phone numbers. Even if this site were recording the numbers, what good is it?

Does anyone under 50 pick up the phone if they don't know the number that's calling?
Sure. Ever gotten a call from a delivery person with food? A doctor’s office with test results? A hair salon confirming an appointment? A teammate with an emergency at work? A taxi driver with the wallet you forgot? A distant relative that needs help? A potential customer referred by a friend?
Just about all the others get to go to voicemail and I’ll read the vm messages at my leisure as my phone transcribes them for me.
If you're on the "facebooked" list your number is already disclosed and correlated to you and your email address - inputting it onto a website to see if it's one of the compromised will have absolutely no effect.

Do you not get spam calls on your phone? Phone numbers that are put into this site are likely to be valid & active, making them valuable data to sell.

Well, from what I can tell, older people are targeted at far high rate. Age seems to be a valued input to the process. I can guess a number of reasons for that.

Best thing they ever did was cancel their (at least) 50 year old phone number.

I received 10 spam calls in 3 hours yesterday from "Chase Bank" about verifying a purchase in Ohio. All came from my area code and matched the same 3 digits of my phone number. I sometimes receive spam calls but never more than one or two in an afternoon. I was wondering what changed recently or how I got onto a new list. Now I realize, two days ago I used this website. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I am…
Perhaps it’s just been long enough for the original breach to take root in a twilioml app?

When searching for a job is the best example. Though these are usually not hidden numbers and for me, if a mobile is calling it's either a wrong number or work related. Spam seems to always a landline.
A safer way: just download the dump for yourself and Ctrl-F your number. An even safer way : Look at your phone log. If you haven’t received 25 spam calls in the past week, your number probably isn’t in the list.
