During the last months since the beginning of 2019, there have been a multitude of people who have reported calls from the number 556. Along with this, small variations of the prefix that go from numbers like 5562611255 to others like 5563583316. The way to proceed in all cases is the same: several calls throughout the day and for several days in the same week. Who is 556 really? Is it a company, or is it just someone who wants to contact us for some reason? We see it below?
Missed call from 556, who is it?
Calls from 5562599763, 5560022123, 5560026335, 5566290773, 5569668107... Several dozen phone numbers whose prefix begins at 556 have been reported in many forums for repeatedly making calls to users with a certain profile. The report in all cases is usually the same, but who is the 556 really?
The truth is that to this day it is still not known. Some users claim that Sanitas is the company behind this phone number. Many others affirm that the call comes from an insurance policy company and even from Bancomer, a bank belonging to BBVA.
From Tuexperto.com we do not rule out that it is a scam organized on a large scale to obtain both user data and bank accounts and useful information from which a certain economic benefit can be obtained. Be that as it may, what we strongly recommend is to block 556 calls through one of the methods that we will explain below.
How to block 556 calls and other phone numbers
Blocking calls from this and other numbers is something that we can carry out through two different methods.
The first of them is based on subscribing to the Robinson List to add our number and force all companies to stop making calls for advertising purposes. In this article on how to block spam calls we explain the whole process step by step and in a simple way.
As for the second method, this is based on installing applications to block calls such as Mr. Number (only for iPhone) or True Caller (only for Android). Once we have installed one of the two applications, we will manually add the number to the black list and activate the antispam filter.
