Have you looked it up on google? That’s the first thing I do usualy when called by an unknown number.
Answer once. If it’s sales or scam, block.
Most likely Spam/scam. Unless you had done an appointment or anything? Sometimes calls won’t have a name. But be wary!!
Or google the number!
Nah, just ignore it.
Zoek even online de nummer op.
If it is actually spam, like, they’re pretending to be someone they are not or trying to phish you, you might be able to contact their SIP provider. The phone numbers calling you (the whole range of numbers starting with 089 59 xx xx) are registered by [Intellinet](https://www.intellinet.be/), a Belgian company based in Lier that specializes in cloud, mobile, VoIP and telephony solutions.
I doubt they are allowed to use the rented numbers for illegal purposes, so Intellinet might be interested if that is the case…
Google it. Otherwise, if in doubt – do not pick up. If they really need to contact you – they can text you.
Most likely spam.
Let me use this opportunity and warn everybody: I got a call the other day with an automated message, which claimed to be from PayPal, and that I should press a button to cancel a high payment to an unknown account.
If you get such message, hang up immediately. Don’t press the key as instructed, as this may activate some other payment or transfer or anything that will incur costs to you (and profits to the scammer)!
And just to be on the safe side, also check your PayPal account (online or via your app!) for any unusual activity. There was no such thing in my case, though.
zijde gij ni ingescreven in een of ander interim bureau?
The 2 at the end is just because it called you 2 times.
In big organisations this is normal. I wouldn’t personally be too worried. It might be an office trying to call you. Someone already said interim, this is def possible. I also work at a big organisation and our numbers are almost exactly the same, except the last digits change.
Scam calls usually come from brussel/antwerp in my experience not Genk. But hey be carefull nonetheless. If its a scam, just hang up.
Or pick and you know…
Hospital? ZOL? Their numbers are 89 5xxxx
I would block the +32 89 59 01 52 and the scammer would be like “CRAP HE KNOW THE CYPHER QUICK SHUT DOWN THE OPERATION WE ARE DEALING WITH A MASTER HACKER”
If it’s really important, they’ll leave a message I always say.
Install the App OrangeTéléphone it will block spam call and call centers 🙂
I had a contact from hasselt spamming me with dozens of calls throughout a few months, always in the same range and a lot of times different numbers but sometimes the same. I finally caved and picked up, it was a call center contacting me regarding my Proximus subscription. My phone sub and internet sub is both paid for by work so that was the most useless spamming do anyone ever. I feel pity for the person on the other side of the line but their bosses are absolutely scum of the earth.
A lot more should be done about a person’s right to allow or prevent personal info being commercially used, sooner or later companies I bought a one off item from 10 years ago and forced me to register my personal info sells my data and there’s nothing I can do about it, or not easily at least. Unbelievable that this is still the norm so many years after social media has already showed us how the exploitation of personal data is incredibly lucrative but also incredibly easy to misuse
What I do is I have my phone on do not disturb 24/7.
I will not pick up for anyone that’s not in my contacts, they always go to voice mail.
My voice mail says “I will not pick up the phone, if it’s important enough, leave a voice mail and I’ll call back.”
If no one leaves a voice mail, then it’s likely a scam, or sales pitch.
If they spam call me and don’t leave a voicemail, I just block the number.

To have your number scrubbed from legal call centers. It may or may not help you with this particular one, but it doesn’t hurt to register.
