Why Truecaller shows wrong information?
#Reason-1
TrueCaller fetches your details from other phones, in which your details have been saved in its phone book and the application is also installed in it. Now let say you work at a hotel and your good name is ‘Max Paul’ and your pet name is ‘Jo’. So one of your friends or co-workers saved your name as ‘Jo Hotel’, then TrueCaller can reflect your name as “Jo Hotel” in default settings.
#Reason-2
Also, there is a possibility, that your phone no was previously used by another person. Now TrueCaller may have the old data in TrueCaller database and reflecting the same.
