What are Phishing calls? How to Protect Yourself from it.

Querying sensitive data ( phishing )

The Federal Network Agency points out that consumers often receive unsolicited calls, in the course of which they use an excuse to provide or confirm personal data - e.g. B. Contact details such as name and address, phone location, account details, PINs and TANs for online banking , credit card numbers or passwords - are requested (“ phishing ”).

In order to encourage the called consumers to disclose or also confirm their data, the callers sometimes promise monetary benefits ( e.g. transferring a fictitious lottery prize to the bank account or participating in competitions, etc.), which they do not redeem.

The callers often use the data provided to debit larger or smaller amounts from the called parties’ accounts. In other cases, the callers pretend to be employees of the cell phone provider of the called party.

They offer the called party an offer to change the contract, a credit note or the provision of a new cell phone and pretend to need the customer password or other customer data in this context.

It is the same in all of these cases that these are not unauthorized advertising calls. In these cases, the perpetrators are not concerned with actually advertising the company whose name they are using to call them.

The calls are not intended to actually promote a particular product or provide an actual service. Rather, attempting phishing , even if this is done by means of a telephone call, is an issue in which there is a possibility of committing a crime (such as a financial crime ).

The Federal Network Agency cannot track calls of this type as unauthorized advertising calls. If there are actually indications of a crime, the responsibility lies rather with the general law enforcement authorities.

The Federal Network Agency is not authorized to receive criminal complaints from people affected by fraudulent phone calls. These should always contact the police and law enforcement agencies directly, also in the interest of speedy criminal investigations.

It is generally advisable to always be careful when handling personal data such as telephone number, address, access password or account details. These should only be passed on to reputable contract partners or companies in a targeted manner and if necessary.

Account movements should also be carefully tracked and checked. The Federal Network Agency advises data subjects not to disclose personal data if a phishing call is suspected or to end such conversations immediately.

Reverse IMEI Number Search

If you do not know which caller the IMEI number in the display belongs to, you can find out their name or address using the inverse search from https://bobs-burgers.tumblr.com/

Inverse search: how is it going?

If you do not know which caller the IMEI number in the display belongs to, you can find out their name, location or address using the inverse search from IMEI tracking software. For this you only enter the landline, mobile or special number with area code in the IMEI number search mask. The following spellings are possible for the IMEI number search : 0123 45 67 89 123456789 0123 - 45 67 89 +49123456789 0123 456789 0123-45 67 89 0123/45 67 89 0049123456789 The use of placeholders such as 0123-45 * is not permitted for the IMEI number search and does not help you for the inverse search either.

What does reverse search mean?

The reverse search helps people who want to know who the caller and his/her IMEI location with a specific IMEI number is. By entering the unknown IMEI number in the search mask of the IMEI number search, the owner and location of this IMEI number can be found out, ie this IMEI number is “traced” back to its owner by searching for the IMEI number based on the IMEInumber search rather than the person’s IMEI number.

Why do you need a IMEI number reverse search?

In everyday life there are always situations in which you want to know who is behind the IMEI number. Here the IMEI number reverse search helps.

Such a situation is, for example, a missed call, in which the IMEI number appears on the display, but there is no associated message on the answering machine.

Call centers call for promotional offers or sweepstakes again and again. And sometimes you find yourself in the situation of finding an old telephone number in your own address book or on a piece of paper, where you no longer know who the number belongs to and why you wrote it down.

In these cases, the IMEI number reverse search turns an unknown number into a classic number. By the way: With the classic IMEI information you only get the IMEI number of one person,

How does the reverse search work and what does it do for me?

The reverse search works like the IMEI number search, only “backwards”.

This means that a name is not entered in the search mask of the directory inquiries from Das Telefonbuch in order to find a corresponding mobile IMEI number or IMEI number, but a number is entered in the search mask for the reverse search in order to find out the associated caller or owner. This particularly helps people who are tormented by telephone terror or overwhelmed by advertising calls and do not know the caller.

How do I find the name and address, location of a IMEI number?

You can find the owner of an unknown IMEI number by name and address using the reverse search from imei-tracker.online. Simply enter the mobile IMEI number or IMEI number in the IMEI number reverse search mask.

Is reverse search and inverse search the same?

The IMEI book reverse search and the inverse search are the same service. Only different terms are used for this: IMEI book reverse search, inverse search or IMEI number reverse search. All are quasi “IMEI number searches”.

How can I object to the reverse search?

Not everyone agrees that they can be found using their IMEI number by searching backwards. One can contradict the phone book reverse search. You can raise this objection via the service number 0800 45 40207 (Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.), stating the customer number. Then someone else will not be able to track your IMEI number back to you using reverse search.

This is how the inverse search works

Who called me If you want to find out who owns a certain IMEI number, the reverse search in the local phone book helps you. Simply enter the IMEI number above and click “Find”. The spelling does not matter as long as you provide the complete IMEI number including area code. We’ll find both landline numbers and mobile and special numbers for you.

An advertising consent is a concrete declaration by a consumer that he / she agrees to an advertising call.
