Telephone scams are the order of the day. It is sadly common for us to receive calls from unknown numbers that we are forced to answer. As if that were not enough, we now know that there are other types of scams that go a step further, such as the scam of the missed calls from countries such as Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Albania or Bosnia . The scam at hand does not come from abroad. In fact, we will receive a missed call from a mobile phone in Spain.
With what we are seeing in recent times, the general recommendation is not to return any missed calls from numbers that we do not know. The problem is that we are always waiting for something, whether the Amazon delivery man calls us, the technician who has to do a repair at home, a possible new job or many more cases that we can imagine. These criminals who seek to scam us with a missed call take advantage of this, which, curiously, many are forced to return .
693 905 949, do not call
Although it had its peak of activity in April and May of this year with up to 10,000 missed calls in one day, the truth is that this scam has never finished disappearing. In one of the best known websites to find SPAM numbers we see that it already has 17,000 searches and we even have 54 complaints in the form of comments about this phone. The last search is from a few minutes ago, which shows that they continue to act with total impunity.
Most of the reports tell us that what they do is hang up so that we are forced to return the call. In fact, some users say they have received calls at odd hours such as the early hours of the morning . In this case, the do not disturb mode should be activated from now on our mobile, at least during the hours when we want to sleep in peace.
Other users point out that they are posing as workers from our electricity company, without finishing giving the data well, and they offer us a discount. Many reports suggest that they pose as Naturgy, but we have not been able to confirm that it is a phone from this company.
The reports keep saying that they ask us for data for a reduction in the electricity bill . In fact, some users say that they have been called by 10 different numbers in a period of only 10 minutes. Some similar telephones would be 662970264 and 662970219. There would be a total of three numbers that would be carrying out all this “operation”.
Therefore, if we see a call from these phones, we will automatically block them on our mobile so that they do not continue to bother us and to avoid any option of being ripped off at the expense of some supposed offers.
