Number overview
0800-500-0619 is reported as mail-order and beauty-product solicitation calls introducing themselves as "Bisento." Recipients who once bought health food or beauty products receive solicitation calls one after another from different operators - suggesting that personal information is being passed around among operators.
Reported tactics
- The caller introduces themselves as "Bisento" and pitches beauty products and health food
- Calls concentrate on people who have previously purchased health food or beauty products by mail order
- Even after declining, the same kind of solicitation continues from different operator names
- It appears that purchaser lists are bought, sold, and shared among operators
Once you make a purchase, you end up on a "willing buyer" list, falling into a cycle where multiple operators repeatedly call to solicit.
How to handle this call
Don't buy over the phone
Don't accept any phone-solicitation purchase. Even one acceptance leads to many more calls from other operators.
Demand deletion of your personal information
Say clearly, "Please delete my personal information." Under the Act on the Protection of Personal Information, operators are obligated to comply with requests to suspend use or delete data.
