Hello,
I just received a missed call on my Orange mobile from a 5-digit number. How is that possible and who could be the caller?
The number was +334180
(+33 is the country code for France, which translates to 04180 for a call made from France).
When I call back, I am told that the number is not assigned...
Thank you for clarifying if you think you have the answer to my question.Configuration: Windows XP

Hi everyone.
The real number for 04634 is 01 73 72 60 20.
It is a malicious company trying to get you to call back this same "HYPER Overcharged" number.
That’s why if you have an answering machine, they leave an incomprehensible jumble. It feels strange and you try to call back (well, that’s what they think).
IN SHORT, IT'S PHONE SPAM.
See you later.

Hi!
I've already been harassed a "bunch" of times (40, 50, 60, even more?) by "stupid" phone numbers with 4, 5, or 6 digits, and I've always refused to answer. "Anyone who can't introduce themselves deserves nothing more than to talk to my voicemail," and since they don't leave messages, I'm "relatively" at peace.
One day when I was available, I finally answered, and since I know how it works in call centers, I " grilled" the person I was talking to.
Indeed: it's not the telemarketers (the people on the other end) who make the calls, but a robot that dials and distributes calls to them as soon as they finish their previous call.
Indeed: it's telemarketing. For me, it was CANALSAT trying to sell me the same offer... as on their website.
Indeed: they don't want to say who gave them my phone number.
Indeed: our telecom operators neither have the power nor the means (currently) to block or prevent these calls. Only "our phones" can do that (although many do not have that power).
Indeed: we can "ask" ("demand" would be more accurate) that they never call us again, but for that, you have to be extremely "tough" on the phone: demand that it be noted in big, bold, uppercase letters in "our file" that we never wish to be contacted again, because in accordance with the European Directive 2005/29/CE, we must confront them by stating that it is aggressive telemarketing, which is a prohibited commercial practice in France and Europe, and that at their next call, we will file a complaint accordingly.
==> Hence the usefulness of first getting the name of the telemarketer you have on the line, the name of the company that employs them (the end client, because they are generally subcontractors), as well as the name of the team leader.
Also warn them that in case of refusal to provide this information, you will file a complaint for phone harassment and that it could cost them their job (contractors really dislike these kinds of threats).
To be well-prepared for this "sharp" response (which you have to give in order for it to stop):
https://droit-finances.commentcamarche.com/faq/1039-demarchage-abusif-par-telephone-comment-bloquer
To quote the "genius" passage that concerns us fully:
"That said, the European directive 2005/29/CE includes a 'blacklist' of prohibited unfair commercial practices in its annex, among which, as aggressive practices, is the act of making repeated and unwanted solicitations by telephone."
==> I therefore recommend that you note the dates and times when "these anonymous numbers tried to contact you," and bring out this list at the moment of the call you still decide to take to put an end to this little game.
...which is what I'm currently doing for that "+33 4 55 54 5"!
I wish you a lot of courage and good luck!

Hello,
I just received 3 calls from a 5-digit number (+3318026). I'm with Orange.
I didn't answer because I'm afraid it might be a scam!
What do you think?

Hello,
I just received this missed call as well: +33 4 63 4. I didn't answer thinking it was a scam too. I got a message on my voicemail, a woman saying "Hello? Hello?" and that's it. You can hear some background noise...
Just to clarify, I'm with Bouygues (universal mobile)... do you have more information about these calls? This is the first time it's happened to me...

I have been receiving calls for several days from the number 04 63 4.
Sometimes it leaves messages in a weird language.
It calls all day long, I’m fed up.
Can anyone enlighten me? Thank you.

Hello, the same thing just happened to me... 2 calls from the number +33 4 63 4 in 2 days... I didn't pick up the first time (no message left), but the second time: I got the message "you will be connected with your correspondent"... and then it hung up...
does anyone have an answer?
thank you!

Five, six, or seven-digit numbers can be:
- either internal phone numbers within a company (usually 5 digits in the format 0xxxx)
- or from a call center, not necessarily harmful, trying to sell you a product
- or a scam. Like 36111 or 20270, which ask you to call back a number starting with 0899 (by the way, I received one of those messages a week ago, proving that the scam isn’t over)
I want to emphasize that you cannot call back a number with fewer than 10 digits, for a reason I do not know. If this number doesn’t leave a message, there’s no need to worry.

Good evening,
I received a call from the same number following an ad posted on a website for the sale of a car.
I don't know if it's your case.
It smells like a scam...

Hello,
For my part, I'm not receiving calls but texts from a 36300 that speaks to me in English and in French. I obviously haven't replied. I wanted to know if others are in my situation. After browsing the section, I saw that most of the people who were complaining were with Orange, which is also my case.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Same! But number +338102 ... as well as a voicemail left by a young woman who addresses a Fred and introduces herself as Steph. She asks questions about sports medicine and mentions a CHU... it's all very confusing! I'm with Orange as well... the strangest thing is that last night I received a text from a number I don't know with just an MSN address...
Me in 2 days I've had
+3330
+33423
+33245
Never any messages left (I didn't answer)
Of course, I also think it's a scam, but I'm afraid it could be Orange calling me about something important...
If anyone knows more, or has already answered these kinds of numbers, I would be interested in getting more info...
Thank you!

Hello,
I always receive this kind of number. Generally, it is a call through the central office of a company or a local authority (like the town hall in my personal example).
Best regards.

Hello,
I am also receiving calls from a number: +33 4 55 54 5. I get them every day!! And sometimes they call me more than 10 times in the same day... They left me a message once, it was a girl with noise in the background who was telling me to get my honey...
I am also with Orange. I just called them and their response is that they can't do anything... If I am being harassed, too bad for me!! Thanks Orange!!!
If anyone has a solution...?!
Thank you.

Hello,
I've been having the same issue for a week with +33 4 63 4 and this started after I posted an ad for selling a car on several free websites. I've been contacted by 3 people from Côte d'Ivoire who wanted to buy the car without even seeing it!!!!! And this is also A HUGE SCAM. They ask for my name, surname, address, landline and mobile phone number, promise payment via Western Union or transfer, and in the end, there’s a problem and accomplices come to collect the car under a false transport company!!! (they have French phones + 33 6 .......). Common scam.
I received a text from 3 63 12 with an address and this person is in Côte d'Ivoire.
So are these people calling collect???? (that would explain the connection)
If anyone has an answer, THANK YOU.

same here!
we posted ads to sell our car on lacentrale, paruvendu, leboncoin... for the past 2 weeks. This was followed by a bunch of suspicious emails from Côte d'Ivoire wanting to buy the car and also asking for some information... and tonight, a call from +33 4 63 4 where a guy says hello hello with background noise like a phone exchange.
in my opinion, it's a big scam. I, for one, am not responding to the emails, and I hope the phone calls will stop. we'll see.

I posted an ad on the website La Centrale to sell my car, I provided my mobile number, and coincidentally, I received a call today from 04 63 4.
I couldn't answer.
I wonder if this site doesn't sell its customer database.

In fact (in my case), it was a company that calls people who post ads on the platform (among other things) to suggest that they also post an ad on their site. (for a fee, of course)
I told them to get lost.
I was also called by 04 634. They've been really harassing me these days. Given that I also posted an ad on a car website and that advertisers share files... I answered once and heard "you will be connected with your contact." and then I hung up; it smells like a scam, especially since I have a guy living in Ivory Coast who offered to buy my car via bank transfer... Be careful...
