Last week dozens of users denounced in various forums and social networks the reception of calls through 933 936 057. The problem is that the majority of affected people have crossed out this number as an alleged attempt at a telephone scam. If we attend to the prefix 933, the origin of the call takes us no less than to Barcelona. But is it really a phone scam? Or do you belong to a company for advertising purposes? We see it.
Who is 933936057?
“He says he is a Vodafone salesperson”, “They got my Milanuncios phone number”, “Scam. They have tried to ask elderly people for account numbers ”… These are some of the comments that we have been able to find on the Internet around the number 933 936 057. Who is it really about?
The truth is that today it is unknown. This morning, Vodafone has unmarked from this phone number through the company's official Twitter account. We can therefore deduce that it is a possible attempted telephone scam.
Sometimes the number in question is supposed to be an electrical company. Others, by an "association of freelancers." In any case, it is likely that we are faced with an alleged fraud attempt with the sole purpose of obtaining bank and personal data.

Another option if we do not want to use third-party applications is based on resorting to the Android and iOS blocking options, which we can access through the Call / Telephone application. Then we will click on the number in question and finally on the option to Block number.
If we have received the call on a landline, the only option we can resort to is based on using call blockers for landlines. In Amazon we can find models that range from 25 euros:
The good thing is that they have a database with a list of phone numbers that automatically filters spam calls.
