Scammers Attack: Which Numbers You Should Never Answer.

Every day our phones vibrate from unknown numbers, sometimes even dangerous ones. Answering them is like playing the lottery: you either receive a service call or fall for scammers. How can you navigate this confusing world of calls?

Experts from the Novyny.LIVE portal provided tips on what to do when calls come from unknown numbers.

First Signs of Danger

In today's technology-driven world, it's increasingly difficult to recognize real numbers. IP addresses allow for substitution of actual data. Therefore, when you see a call from abroad or with an unusual country code, it's worth being cautious. It could either be a foreign service or cunning scammers.

For example, a large number of calls from Kyiv (+380 (44)) may turn out to be cold sales or information gathering. Also, if you see 'Unknown' or 'No number' written, it's better to leave the call unattended. These are often tricks used by those who wish to remain anonymous. Other numbers that start with 0 800 or +380 800 usually belong to companies and carry either advertisements or service offers. Missed a call? Don't worry, it was most likely just a commercial.

If you still decide to answer a call from an unknown number, do not share your personal information, do not state your name, or confirm any details. This could become a reason for deception. If you feel suspicious — end the conversation as quickly as possible.
