From the end of 2019 to the beginning of 2020, many users have reported receiving calls from the phone number 917374899. The number in question appears to make multiple calls throughout the day, including on weekends. If we attend to the prefix 917, the origin of the call takes us to the Community of Madrid. Is it a private individual? Do you belong to a company? We see it below.
Call 917374899, who is it?
"They call, say goodbye and then hang up", "They say they are from Iberdrola but I do not have a contract with this company", "I return the call and no one answers"… These are some of the most recurrent reports in forums and social networks in around the number 917 37 48 99. Who is hiding behind this?
As some users affirm, those responsible for the call pose as Iberdrola Distribución to obtain a series of sensitive data, which can range from the name of the customer to the bank account number or the postal address.
The operator in question ensures that the company has launched a promotion with up to a 30% discount that will be applied to the following invoices. At the moment Iberdrola has not confirmed this promotion. Nor has the authorship of the phone number been attributed, so it is very likely that we are facing an attempt at a telephone scam.
How to block calls from 917 37 48 99 and other annoying numbers
Due to the fact that we are facing a very probable case of telephone scam, the only measure we can take to block the reception of calls from this and other similar numbers is to use applications to block calls, although most mobile phones already have This function.
Applications like True Caller if we have an Android mobile (Samsung, LG, Huawei, Xiaomi…) or Mr. Number if we have an iPhone. After installing the application on the phone, simply add the number 917 374 899 to the list of exceptions to immediately activate the anti spam call filter. Any call coming from the phone number we just registered will be automatically blocked from now on.
If we have a landline, the way to proceed is practically identical. In general, most phones have lists of exceptions. If this is not the case, we can always resort to Amazon and PC component models for prices ranging from 20 to 40 euros.
