I worked on a little pin map for me with IP locations, I am wondering if anyone knows of an interface where we could all input locations that we get from our different methods so we can further document the overlap of specific locations where the operations are located. It would be great to aggregate that data.

I don’t know if anyone has thought more about a way we can aggregate our location info. Here is the latest screenshot with updates on additional locations since the 26th. Mumbai has been the biggest offender by far since Friday.

sounds interesting, never done that so I asked gpt, maybe helpful:
Option 1: Shared Google Map (Easy, Collaborative)
Best for: Small-to-medium groups that want to collaborate quickly with low tech setup.
- Create a Google My Maps instance: https://www.google.com/maps/d/
- Add pins manually by pasting IP location info or coordinates.
- Share edit access with trusted scambaiters.
- Customize pin colors/tags (e.g., IP from header, baitcall location, VPN detection, etc.).
- Export/Import in KML/CSV if needed.
Downside: Limited access control granularity. Anyone with edit access can mess with all pins.
Option 2: Airtable + Embedded Map (Structured + Collaborative)
Best for: Teams wanting spreadsheet-style control and filters.
- Use Airtable to build a table with:
- IP address
- Location (city, lat/lon)
- Source (bait email, VM, call trace)
- Tags/Notes
- Use Airtable’s Map App extension to display pins.
- Can filter by scam type, source, date, etc.
- Embed in a private page or share read-only views.
Bonus: You can import from CSV logs or enrich with IP geolocation APIs (like ipinfo.io).
Option 3: Self-Hosted Leaflet Map or GitHub Pages (Technical, Private)
Best for: High-control setup with public or private access.
- Use Leaflet.js (a JS mapping library).
- Store pins in a simple
geojsonor JS object. - Host on GitHub Pages or a private web server.
- Pull in data from a Google Sheet, Airtable, or CSV if needed.
Requires basic web dev skills (HTML/JS) but you get full control and versioning.

A post was merged into an existing topic: Scammer Self Report Mega Thread
I often go and look at found locations on here and want to figure out a way to categorize them like, if we find confirmation of one we could put something like #calcutta or #Noida so we could quickly reference the hashtag to find connections between our different numbers. I am just trying to brainstorm ways we could try to better coordinate our findings so we can get strings of numbers together and associate them with specific call centers. I have worked on a pin map showing found locations. It would be cool if we could find a way to coordinate locations like that on a community-wide pin map or a hash tag
Sorry to sound dumb but what is Noida and Calcutta im new here and i keep seeing “Nodia” numbers
Cities in India, scammer hot beds
host a webapp/db with a map like this.
have a front end input asking for strict ip input.
post to a backend script that uses an api or geotool module to get general coords.
script uses those coords to place a marker on a map.
ui has the full list of ips collected.
share url with the people you want to work with and only accept certain logins.
im sure you could have ai code something in a day or two.
im sure their ips are just as dynamic as everyone elses so youd need to be careful about that.
