Number overview
050-3165-3367 is a number with many user reports describing calls that offer to buy unwanted goods or precious metals and press for a home visit (as of 2026-08-03). Multiple reviews suspect aggressive in-home purchasing.
Reported tactics
- Reports of openers such as "We buy unwanted items or clothes" leading to a push for a home visit
- Reports of calls presented as doll or recycled-goods purchasing
- Reports of being pressed during visits to sell precious metals other than the originally mentioned items
The Act on Specified Commercial Transactions provides cooling-off rights for in-home purchases (push-buying). You can cancel unconditionally within 8 days of receiving the contract document.
How to handle this call
Don't pick up - hang up immediately
Don't engage with calls from anyone claiming to be a buying service. Never agree to a visit.
If they show up
Don't open the door; refuse through the intercom. If they refuse to leave even after you say clearly, "Please leave," they may be committing the criminal offense of refusing to leave (futaikyozai). Call the police.
