Number overview
03-6740-2592 is a number used in a bogus-billing scam that sends SMS messages reading, "The support center has an important matter to confirm. Please contact us today," to lure recipients into calling back.
Reported tactics
- SMS messages create false urgency with phrases like "important matter to confirm" and "contact us today"
- The same content is sent from multiple phone numbers (including mobile numbers)
- If you call back, you're billed for an "unpaid charge" on a paid site or a "cancellation fee"
- You're instructed to buy electronic money at a convenience store
Legitimate service providers do not pressure you with "contact us today" by SMS. Don't comply with any unfamiliar billing demands.
How to handle this
Ignore the SMS
Don't reply to unfamiliar SMS messages and don't call back the number listed. You can safely delete the message.
If you've already called back
If you're asked for money, pay nothing and hang up. If you've already paid, contact the police and your consumer affairs center immediately.
