Mobile phones have become one of the indispensable communication tools in our daily life, in addition to receiving and making calls, they also assume a variety of functions such as payment, entertainment, chatting and making friends. However, in the process of using mobile phones, we often receive all kinds of calls, and some of them start with a specific number that requires us to be extra careful, as they are likely to be sales calls or scam calls. Let's learn how Xi recognize and respond to these calls.
The first type: Phones starting with 00
These calls are usually international calls, and scammers will pretend to be someone from an agency and claim that our documents are about to expire and that we need to renew them with personal information. If you continue to have a conversation, you may be sent malicious links that could lead to theft of your personal information. For people who do not have friends and relatives abroad, it is best to hang up immediately when encountering this kind of call to avoid being deceived.
The second type: Phones starting with 95
Many people mistakenly think that the call starting with 95 is from the bank, but in fact it is a trick of scammers. Calls from banks are generally only 5 digits, and scammers use 95 to disguise them, the main purpose is to reduce our vigilance. Therefore, when you see a phone call starting with 95, remember to distinguish carefully, if it exceeds 5 digits, it is likely to be a scammer's call, and you should hang up decisively.
The third type: phones starting with 400
Calls starting with 400 are usually corporate and after-sales calls, which are generally used to answer rather than dial. If you receive a call starting with 400, it is likely to be a sales call or a scam call. Therefore, we should be vigilant about such calls and do not answer them easily to avoid being scammed.
Fourth: Unknown number
Normally, we are able to see the other person's mobile phone number when answering the call, but there is a situation where we can't see the number and only an unknown number is displayed. This is most likely a specially treated number that hides the normal number, and it is usually someone with bad intentions who calls us. For such a call, it is better to hang up directly to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Fifth: impersonating customer service numbers
With the popularity of online shopping, we often receive calls pretending to be various customer service personnel. They claimed that the goods we purchased were damaged in transit and needed to make a claim, and sent a link for us to fill in personal information. This is most likely a scam call, because the customer service of the regular platform will not call us at will. If there is a problem, we should contact the platform's customer service directly, instead of trusting the so-called customer service number.
When answering calls, we must be vigilant and improve our ability to identify various calls to avoid becoming a victim of fraud. Once you know this information, please share it with your friends and family to help create a safer communication environment. Thank you, I'm Xiaojun, we'll see you next time!
