All of us are more than used to receiving persistent calls from certain numbers that do not give up. These spam numbers are really a nuisance, and from time to time one that is especially insistent appears, which sets off the alarms because sometimes they can even be an attempt at fraud. One of the most insistent is 912048501, a phone that does not stop calling. We tell you more about this spam number.
Although today we have tools to identify a phone number, it is sometimes not easy to distinguish whether it is a spam number or not. To do this, we have several tools on the Internet that can help us to identify these numbers, as is the case of the portal SpamList.
Who calls us from 912048501?
As we said at the beginning, one of the most insistent and heavy telephone numbers is 912048501. This number has been searched on ListaSpam more than 15,000 times, and it already has more than 220 complaints behind it, a very high number. This phone is calling from Madrid, and according to the users of this website, it is Vodafone telemarketing. The most curious thing about the matter is that sometimes it seems that when the user picks up the phone, the other party hangs up without being able to answer the call.
“They have called me 12 times in a few days, they never say anything and after a few seconds they hang up.”
In addition to identifying these calls as from Vodafone, many users are reporting up to 4 or 5 calls on the same day. These calls seem to be happening even outside the hours allowed for this type of calls, which makes them even more burdensome. The objective of these calls is to offer Vodafone rates and promotions, although, as we have said, they do so with too much insistence and at times that are not correct.
«Vodafone sellers. Very annoying calling at all hours, and although I tell them that they can’t give me service in my area, they keep insisting.
Ways to avoid these types of calls
Luckily, today we have several ways to prevent these spam phone numbers from continuing to bombard us with calls. One of the easiest and most obvious ways we have to do this is to block these numbers from receiving calls, but this is a half solution. We say that it is half because these numbers usually call from several different phones, so it would only be a temporary solution.
Some smartphones today are equipped with their own system to detect spam calls. If we activate this option in the settings of our device we will see when the call is spam, which will allow us to detect these annoying numbers without having to go to a web page like ListaSpam to do so. If not, we always have the possibility of going to one of the applications that we have available in the app stores, such as call blockera solution that works great.
Finally, another option that we have to avoid these calls is to sign up for what is known as Robinson List. We aim to this list (something that is completely free) serves to avoid advertising from companies to which we have not given consent to send us advertising. It works both for telephone advertising and for postal mail, email and SMS.
