Hi, i have recentely moved here in Frankfurt city and obviously i had my home number changed. i have not given anybody my home number. but everyday there are so many spam calls. and today someone from ''Microsoft'' was calling me. how is this even possible. these spam calls are annoying because i cant even reject them..
Receiving spam calls does not mean that your phone number has been leaked. Ususally they just call randomly generated phone numbers.
There are some cases where potential criminals call random mobile numbers starting with 0172 (because most Vodafone numbers start with these digits) and ask for the customer passwords.
The same happens to fixed line numbers. Often you will be asked for personal information like your IBAN etc.
If you do not trust the caller end the call immediately.
Depending on which modem you are using you can block certain numbers. This can help to at least get rid of some these spam calls.
