What makes a report useful
The right details can make the next step clearer.

Why it may be worth checking
Some qualifying calls or texts can carry statutory damages.
A clear timeline helps show whether the facts fit. Dates, sender identity, prior consent, and what happened after a stop request can all affect the analysis.
Possible statutory amount under federal law.
Possible amount if a court ultimately makes that finding.
Federal law describes these statutory amounts, but the amount available in any matter depends on the facts and a court's findings. Read 47 U.S.C. § 227.
From interruption to evidence
Build a reviewable record, one fact at a time.
Check the facts
Sender, frequency, message type, relationship, consent, and stop requests.
Identify the proof
Note which screenshots, call logs, voicemails, and opt-out records you have.
Get the right next step
Keep documenting, report the caller, or request review without an automatic handoff.

The public checker helps identify useful records. Account-based case files are designed to link each incident to its original without rewriting your statement.

A useful answer either way
Whatever the result, you leave with a clearer next step.
The checker does not force every report toward an attorney. It can show what to preserve, what is missing, or when reporting and blocking may be more useful.
Worth Completing
The facts may justify building a file for review.
More Evidence Needed
Preserve originals and fill important gaps.
Report and Block
Unknown or spoofed callers receive reporting and preservation guidance.
Unlikely Fit
The facts appear outside the checker's current patterns.
Manual Review Required
Conflicting or unmatched facts need clarification.
Frequently asked questions
Does every spam call qualify?
No. Sender identity, purpose, consent, frequency, evidence, jurisdiction, and other facts matter.
Is TCPASpam a law firm?
No. TCPASpam provides software and factual organization. Legal decisions and representation come only from a licensed attorney under separate terms.
Will an attorney accept my report?
No result guarantees acceptance or representation. A participating organization may accept for follow-up, reject, or request more information.
What evidence should I save?
Preserve full, original call logs, conversations, STOP messages, voicemails, forms, and related correspondence. Do not crop or edit your only copy.
