Beware of the number 069244375048, which claims to be the “head office for energy suppliers”!
In the run-up to Christmas, not only do the sweet bells ring, but the telephones also increasingly ring. This is where gullible people become victims of nasty spam calls. Through scams that annoyingly advertise lotteries (01635844545) or talk about alleged participation in competitions (015210923002), money is taken out of consumers' pockets.
Clever Dialer, the app for spam protection and caller ID, collects ten phone numbers every month that can be safely ignored and blocked. In November, one Frankfurt number in particular stood out: 069244375048 was reported a total of 9,160 times - that's 24.16 percent of all complaints from the top 10 spam numbers.

The spam phone numbers in November and the comments of those affected:
- 069244375048 (cost trap):
“Since November 14th, 2022, I have received up to seven calls a day from a so-called main office for energy suppliers. I spoke harshly to the first person from Cologne until she hung up. She really wanted my meter number. Now I get up to seven calls a day from Frankfurt am Main. But I have the lock in place. What can I do to stop the magic? I am in contact with the Federal Network Agency. But they just mean that I should block the number. So also a zero.”
- 01635844545 (competition):
“I get calls from this number almost 8 times a day. Once they wanted information about the bank details and my private address with the reasons for the lottery competition/contract. Blocked immediately!!!”
- 015210923002 (cost trap):
“Was offered to reduce from 12 months to 3. Special termination/immediate termination. Apparently all data is automatically deleted. It’s all fraud.”
- 022165088561 (Spam):
“Pretended to be “Stadtwerke München”, wanted my account number because I would receive a refund.”
- 040655890700 (Spam):
“They are supposed to be an electricity service company - they are very pushy and want to know the monthly deduction. Rude – I told them it was none of their business and hung up.”
- 01784133177 (competition):
“Number calls at least once a day - supposedly it's about winning the lottery, but you have to take out a paid subscription of €49.95 / month. Be careful, scam!”
- 01637875622 (competition):
“Same stitch as often described here. Apparently you had taken out a competition subscription. Very pushy and rude. After threatening to report it, they hung up.”
- 04029999112 (Other):
“One or more calls almost every day for a few weeks. When you answer you are asked for a woman xxxx. Number blocked, but still receive a message almost every day that this number has called.”
- 01631672226 (competition):
“Ask for personal data and want it confirmed.”
- 021198709935 (Other):
“The gentleman wanted me to take out private insurance, for example private supplementary dental insurance. I then said no and said I could also do this through my health insurance company. He was totally pushy and provocative.”
