Telephone spam analysis of the last few weeks: At the beginning of the year, many people tackle the resolutions they made on New Year's Eve. The end of the year, on the other hand, is often used to cancel unused subscriptions and expiring contracts in a timely manner.
This is exactly where the supposed spam callers started in December: A number of users reported incessant phone calls that revolved around registering for competitions or cost increases for electricity contracts. Clever Dialer , the spam protection and caller ID app, is again pointing to ten particularly stubborn phone numbers from December this month. 06920436149 is by far the undisputed leader this month - those affected reported the number a total of 7,645 times . New: An “alleged consumer survey regarding smokers” ( 0894161727 ) and a travel agency commissioned by Amazon with the number 030201649242 .

The spam phone numbers in December and the comments of those affected:
- 06920436149 (Other): “Apparently my husband registered with them, when my husband answers the phone his wife supposedly registered. Become totally rude and cheeky on the phone. I have now blocked the number and forwarded it to the Federal Network Agency. Let’s see if it helps!”
- 030439729060 (Other): “I want to let me know that they are from an energy center and that from January 1st, 2022 I will receive a 20% cost increase from my energy supplier (electricity) without any information - how stupid do they think they are??”
- 030201649242 (Other): “I was called by a lady who is supposedly in the travel agency. Amazon commissioned them to send me a travel voucher. She knew my email address and would send me this voucher. Of course nothing came. This isn't the first call from people like this. So be careful when the doorbell rings and you answer it, just say hello and never say yes.”
- 01639416414 (competition): “Call to supposedly cancel something before the notice period expired, but the IBAN was requested because I would supposedly get a refund of €70.”
- +31686157052 (cost trap): “He claims that I would play the lottery. They call every day.”
- 040655893301 (Other): “Caller acts very aggressively and tries to run you over by asking for the address. After I asked whether he was aware that he was making an illegal call, he got tired of it and hung up.”
- 0894161727 (Other): “Survey supposedly commissioned by a university in Munich on the subject of smoking. Nice voice, but since it’s no longer an issue for me, the conversation ended quickly.”
- 015211284934 (competition): “Since I actually registered for a competition, it didn't immediately seem Spanish to me. Data synchronization took place. Then they wanted my account details. Of course I didn't give it away anymore. Then they said that I would just continue to take part and they hung up.”
- 041819474991 (ping call): “Bauer Media Group for occupational insurance!!! Totally annoying, call 100 times a day.”
- 021198709948 (Sales): “You keep calling and pretending to be an insurance representative.”
