Not surprised why @Agnes L did not respond to my question.
Truecaller not showing names, any alternative caller id app?

- Start date
Wait what? No! I am just a normal citizen. No spam report is associated with my number and there is no reason for there to be, either.
The presence of following in your app though:
1. Amazon Advertisement
2. AppsFlyer
3. CleverTap
4. Criteo
5. Facebook Ads
6. Google AdMob
7. Google CrashLytics
8. Google Firebase Analytics
9. IAB Open Measurement
10. Inmobi
11. Vungle
That's a hefty data collection are All these present on truecaller website, app or both?
I assume both.

I found these using uBlock on FF:
1. Google CDN
2. Plausible.io (This is a Google Analytics alternative)
3. zipzip.ai (Truecaller's AI assistant)
4. nip.io (https://github.com/exentriquesolutions/nip.io)
The site appears to be much better compared to the app but I'm not sure if Ublock is enough to monitor everything or if I am monitoring it the right way using uBlock.
Anyways, this is what I did with a very recent scam attempt:

There website may be less cluttered to harvest data.
Which is only doable by adblockers to block external url/scripts.
Not sure of any app, which shows each and every request made by a app. There used to be a tool decades ago named zone alarm pro for windows which showed all the requests made to different IPS or domains for that software
(.exe files mostly)
I am sure that SMS won't be from any mobile or going phone number, but some made up SBI strings/alphabets like anything:
Sbi:circ
sbi-info
Etc.
They only want users to click on link..
That must be a dumb scammer to spell YON0
It is actually a bad idea to reply to these scammers as their revenge is to proliferate your number further. Just report it to TRAI at 1909 and block (or delete if you want to report again) the number. You will get a message from the operator within 2-3 days stating how many unregistered telemarketing warnings have been given to the number so far and it gets banned after 3 strikes.
How do we report messages from random names (cannot find any numbers) claiming to be from bank.
Example:
SBI-Info
SBI-CREDIT
NDSL...
etc. Etc.
The ones with names are registered telemarketers with TRAI. You can complain using the names in the message to 1909, but from my experience these are always rejected because your number is officially registered with them, as you had used their services and hence is not considered as unsolicited promotion.
You will have to write to them to opt out or in general block promotional messages in the TRAI DND registry.

Hey have you fixed this I'm also encountering the same problem?
i kept it uninstalled for a month or so and then installed new version from play store and i can see names now. Latest update is of Oct 2 on my phone. If that does not work, try joining the beta and then see if it works. i still don't see names for people who make their number show up as 091 (10 digit number). I don't blindly believe what the profile name says since it can be anything the person put in. I stopped believing in the authenticity of truecaller names a long time back.
there is a new feature on truecaller get verified by upi /bank account linked number or aadhar online verification
