Emerging Risk Signals in VIC
Rapid report accumulation or shifting classifications on the same number - these patterns stand out from the baseline and warrant closer attention.
Rapid Report Accumulation
Two or more reports filed within seven days. When multiple people independently flag the same number in a short window, the signal carries more weight.
Some contributors classify these as scam while others disagree. That split makes the number harder to categorise definitively - watch for how the balance shifts as new reports come in.
Ranked by all-time report count. Independent reports from different contributors on the same number build a stronger signal - though classifications are user-assigned and can shift as new data arrives.

Lookup-to-Report Ratio
0.1x
30-day lookups per report filed. Below 1.0 means more reports than lookups - contributors are actively engaged.
High Lookup / Low Report Anomalies
Frequently searched but rarely reported - these numbers sit in a gap between public curiosity and formal submission. High lookup volume alone does not confirm any risk.
Higher values suggest concentrated reporting on fewer numbers rather than broad coverage.
