Where do they get my phone number? | Singapore

Would you like to know how your phone number falls into the hands of others?

Unfortunately, we use our phone number in many places in daily life. In the following 3 cases, your phone number can easily be obtained by people you do not want.

  • If a phone is requesting while registering for a website
  • Online forms, surveys, advertisement etc. while filling information
  • When you install unreliable mobile apps

Of course, your phone numbers are also taken apart from these. For example, when you shop at a store, your phone number is requested.

Some companies and operators sell their phone numbers. Even if this is legally prohibited, unfortunately your numbers are shared for money. Do not share your phone number with sites you do not trust, most phone numbers are collected from digital media.

It may be looking for Operators, Banks, Lawyers, Marketing or even Scammers. Therefore, you have to be very careful in your phone calls. Please do not buy anything in your conversations, do not share your credit card and personal information, do not click on the links that come with the message.
