Phone scams and ping-call

Phone scams are most often perpetrated by unscrupulous service publishers who use various pretexts to encourage victims to call back a premium number.

The most common pretexts are :

  • A voice message waits to be listened to
  • An e-mail tells you that a parcel post is waiting for delivery

How to fight against phone scams?

The best way is to inform the internet users as much as possible by reporting the fraudulent number
