Since the beginning of July until now, more than a hundred users have reported calls from the phone number 917371066. If we stick to the prefix 917, the origin of the number in question corresponds to the Community of Madrid, because it is not a commercial number whose pricing rises to the level of prefixes such as 902, 901 or 807, but rather a national landline number. This is the reason why many people wonder who 917371066 really is. Is it a spam number? Does it correspond to a company? We see it below.
Who is 917371066?
"They call several times a day and no one answers", "I have received two calls at untimely hours and I don't know who it is", "I pick up the call and listen to a recording in English"… These and many other testimonies are some of the most recurring reports in the different forums of spam numbers. But who is hiding behind it?
The truth is that today its authorship is unknown. Some users claim that the shift operator claims to be from Orange. As many others claim to be from Movistar, Vodafone and even Yoigo, and an even larger amount certifies that Endesa is the company behind 917371066.
The curious thing about this is that the companies to which the number claims to belong corroborate that the phone does not correspond to any number under its authorship, so from now on we can assume that it is a fraudulent number whose objective is limited to obtaining user data. Data such as ID, full name or even bank information.
In any case, from Tuexperto.com we recommend blocking the number in question through one of the methods that we will detail below.
How to block calls from 917371066 and other spam numbers
If we have received a call from 917371066 and we want to block its reception, the method to follow depends on whether we have a landline or a mobile phone.
In the case of the first, the process is as simple as registering both our data and the numbers where we want to stop receiving spam calls on the Robinson List website. The platform, led by the Spanish Association of Digital Economy, obliges all companies to stop making calls for advertising purposes.
Within a period of no more than two months, we should stop receiving calls on all those phone numbers that we have previously registered. Otherwise, we may file a lawsuit for the violation of the current Data Protection Law.
And what happens if we have a mobile phone or smartphone? The process is even simpler. We will only have to install an application to block calls, such as True Caller for Android or Mr. Number for iPhone. Once the application in question is installed, we will add the number manually to the black list and activate the anti spam filter so that all calls are redirected automatically.
