Cybercrimes and phone fraud have become an integral part of our lives. Today, anyone who has shared their contact information in apps, on official company websites, or various services can potentially become a victim of scammers.
Fraudulent schemes are becoming more complex and cunning. Therefore, experts from the SmsBower SMS reception service conducted their own investigation and compiled a list of online services where it’s better not to provide personal data to avoid suffering from calls from unknown numbers.Several specialists from the SMS activation service registered on various platforms, providing their personal phone numbers. The goal was to check whether the provided number would start receiving calls from scammers.
As a result of the experiment, it turned out that within just a few hours or the next day, the number would end up in a scammer database and begin to be bombarded with calls. Additionally, we analyzed information from the internet and added to the list services and companies from which user data had been leaked.
If you want your personal and contact information to remain confidential and not fall into the hands of scammers, we recommend not providing it when registering on websites and apps online.
