How HUHU detects suspicious numbers
We combine 3 signals to qualify every number: third-party databases (Hiya, Truecaller, Orange), community reports on huhu.fr, and pattern analysis (call volume, hours, duration).
1 · Cross-check
For each number, we query Hiya, Truecaller and Orange Téléphone in real time.
2 · Community
Reports and reviews left on huhu.fr feed the database.
3 · Pattern analysis
Call volume, hours, duration: an algorithm detects typical profiles.
4 · Combined score
We return a 0–100 score + a clear verdict to decide in 2 seconds.
