The most annoying and insecure phone numbers
Next we are going to review which numbers are being the most searched in ListaSpam , one of the best websites to try to know who is calling you from an unknown number and what intentions they have.
2804690710
This telephone number currently occupies the infamous first position within the Top Spam of the specialized website Listaspam.com. In recent times, it has been one of the most consulted on the platform, with 6,183 queries and a total of 144 complaints.
The main reason for complaint is that they call and later hang up, with no apparent purpose other than to annoy. Apparently, according to some user reports, they call from Trelew, a town in Argentine Patagonia, while others say they call from Rawson, also in Argentina.
The few users who claim to have answered the call and that they have been answered say that they are posing as Movistar, so it could also be a scam.
662418589
This number is being used for two similar phone scams. On the one hand, some users report that they call and send messages pretending to be Unicaja to steal sensitive information.
“They indicate that they are from Unicaja and that they are updating your account and that you click on a link”
“It tells me to log in to Unicaja and I don’t have an account at that bank. Don’t click the link and delete the message.
Others, on the other hand, say they received a message from this number claiming to be from the Treasury and offering a refund.
“They pretend to be the Tax Agency telling me that I have been qualified for a refund of [411.65] they ask me for my name and surnames my zip code my card number expiration date my security code”
«False message from the Tax Agency, be very careful. Tax Agency: You have been qualified for a tax refund of [€411.65], you will find more information on the website [link]»
663738177
Again, this phone number will not only be a nuisance, but is also meant to be used in a scam. On this occasion, the company they supplant is Seur, one of the main courier companies in Spain, and Correos, the public company dedicated to this trade.
«[SEUR]: Your package cannot be delivered, customs fees (€2.99) have not been collected. You can pay at this link: [link]»
“Dear customer, your package could not be delivered because customs fees (€1.98) have not been paid. You can pay at the following link: [link]”
Some loose user also claims that he has received a smishing message from this phone number pretending to be a bank:
“Notice from CaixaBank: as of 08.15.2022 you will no longer be able to use your card. You must activate the new web security system: [link]»
3219998671
This number that apparently calls from Jalisco, Mexico, according to data from ListaSpam occupies the fourth position. It has 1,296 searches and 26 complaints. From what users are saying, it seems less dangerous than previous examples and is mostly a hang up call.
Some users did manage to hear what it is about and claim to be from the Claro operator.
1170539588
Finally, in the current top of ListaSpam this Argentine number is shown, which has already accumulated 9 complaints. They claim to have received back-to-back calls from this number.
Only one affirms that they pretend to be Movistar, so it would be necessary to be attentive to whether the situation repeats itself.
“False sale of Movistar”
