If you are harassed by calls from an unfamiliar number, do not rush to call it back immediately, as it may be telephone scammers, a subscriber from another region or even a country. You can pre-punch a cell phone number and find out who owns it.
Instructions
Step 1
Try to punch your cell phone number online through search engines. If it belongs to scammers, most likely you will see it in one of the corresponding databases with a description. Often, attackers disguise numbers as mobile network operators, various entertainment services, etc., as a result of which subscribers who have already become a victim of deception publish them on the Internet in order to warn other people.
Step 2
Pay attention to the first 3-4 digits of the number. If it does not start with the code "+7" or "8", then, most likely, it is registered abroad. The next 3 digits after the code can tell which mobile operator the number belongs to, and in which region or city its owner is located. You can punch this combination through search engines and find out how safe calls to the number you are interested in will be and how much they will cost.
Step 3
Subscribers often publish their numbers on various resources, for example, on social networks, on classifieds, job search, dating, etc. Thus, when using search engines, there is a fairly high probability of finding a link to the phone owner's page on the Internet. Also try to punch a cell phone number through the resources mentioned, as they also have internal search engines that allow you to search for people by various parameters.
Step 4
Check the websites of mobile operators. Some of them offer special paid services to determine the owner of the number and his location. Please note that in this case, the owner of the phone will be aware of your actions, and as soon as you try to punch a cell phone number, he will receive a notification, which he can answer with consent or refusal.
