The spam phone numbers in July and comments from those affected

“I want to start a new electricity/gas provider.”

“Fake call. I should take advantage of a special right of termination so that I don't have to pay more than €96. Cancellation is probably only possible until 6 p.m. today and a callback is also not possible. Very serious."

“The caller says that I have won 100 euros and that he needs my date of birth and my bank details. Beware of fraud! Don’t give out any data.”

“Be careful, don’t give out any information. The caller would like to find out the meter readings and meter numbers for gas and electricity. The price guarantee would have expired with the respective supplier. The caller would now choose the cheapest provider for me. Caution is advised here. This information can be used to terminate old contracts and conclude new contracts. If you don’t provide the information you want, the caller will become loud and angry.”

“I won a trip for two people to Dubai – HURRAY! When I asked which magazine I had to subscribe to in order to go on the trip, I was hung up on!”

“Caller tries to convince me to take part in the lottery and whether I don’t want the compensation payment.”

“Want to sell insurance. Already called 50 times, including from other numbers.”

“Alleged dentist supplement. Clear fraud. As soon as you ask detailed questions, the seller has to explain and doesn't know what to do. Absolute spam/scam etc.”

“Very rude when I wasn't willing to give my bank routing number. Apparently I don't want to take part in a competition anymore, I haven't even taken part anywhere. They had all of my information. Scary."

“I wanted to force a new electricity provider on me and have my electricity box number – block it.”
