And now they know the number is still active 🙂
Probably scam calls, we also get them a lot.
Yeah more and more lately (also numbers from hungary and the uk)
I trend to just instantly block them from now
Yep
Yeah lots lately, and a lot of people I know are getting the same calls
Mostly from the UK for me
Yep, I never pick them up and put them in the spam list
That’s the reason I completely stopped answering any calls from unknown numbers. I really look forward to this new feature that will be launched in the new IOS version called call screening, where an AI will ask the name and purpose of the call, send that to you in a message, so you can decide if you want to answer or not.
I hope it works as promised, it will be a life saver 🙂
Yes, it’s usually computers calling to see if the number is active. It may then be sold for scamming purposes.
Data leak somewhere, most likely the banks but they are not going to squeek and spill the beans
It’s a scam center checking whether your number is active and if you’re likely to pick up the phone
Congratulations there are dozens more to come
Either just checking if the number is active, or a spammer starts multiple calls at once and just talks to whoever picks up first. Either way: just block the number!
Could be like to the orange hack.
Block and report spam. Only thing that helps.
If you don’t know the number, just don’t answer it and block the number. If it’s important they will leave a message.
Constantly. I now automatically block numbers unless I have them in my phone book or I call them back.
Either robocalls or spam. If you get this so frequently then I guess it’s spam.
I got two calls from a French number today, which I thought was odd. Didn’t pick up though
>I answer
They know this phone is in use … so they’ll keep on calling
I never answer the phone if thr region is brussels. It is getting pretty annoying indeed.
All the time. Also numbers from France that they have a job offer me and I should send a message true WhatsApp.
Private Number: block
Unknown number from another country: block
Unknown number I don’t know: don’t pick up, look up the number to see if it’s a known number.
To be honest, everytime I pickup a number I don’t know these days it’s always some BS company up to some BS.
DONT PICK THEM UP!!!, NOW THEY WIL KEEP CALLING!!!!
Influx since the Orange leak. Joy.
I get unknown numbers from Liege, Greece and France recently. I never pick up tho I know they’re trying sth sketchy.
So you say something when you answer?
I got some calls from France lately. If I don’t say anything, there’s nothing. Once I say hello, an AI sounding voice tells me they want to talk about work opportunities, and to add them on WhatsApp.
Since the Orange hack I get them once or twice a week. Problem is I cannot change numbers as I have this number for work as well.
Lead triage
Sorry it’s me
bots trying different numbers to see which is active or not
as to why they are doing that, it’s because they are used by data brokers, they basically sell active numbers to companies that will try to contact you to sell their products
basically an organized scam industry, don’t hesitate to block them although they can use fake numbers to hide themselves, there is a limited amount of numbers they can use
