Receiving strange calls from +1 844-319-1130: What to do?

Have you been receiving strange calls from +1-844-319-1130 and you are wondering if this number is legit or not?

Let me tell you that I also received a few calls from this number recently and I will tell you my experience and what you need to do in this matter.

First of all, it is to be noted that the number +1-844-319-1130 belongs to Sprint, a telecom service.

It is also worth noting that the calls you receive from this number are either a scam or spam calls to promote their services.

The worst part, however, is that some users have reported that they received calls from this number and were asked for their PIN and also their Pet name.

This is dangerous because it is part of an authorized scam where people’s money could be in danger.

Is the number +1-844-319-1130 legit or not?

No, the number +1-844-319-1130 is not legit and this could be a scam/spam call. The scammers call on this number and ask users to do things in a hurry so that they spell out their sensitive information by mistake.

Usually, these scammers would tell you that your Sprint or Verizon number is being canceled as you have not cleared your dues.

You might also be told by these scammers that you are getting a great upgrade or an exciting discount on your card that you might miss if you don’t give them the details on the phone call itself.

In that case, you will ask them what to do and they will tell you to give your PIN and you might give them your details as well.

If you ever receive a call from this number then make sure to report it to the higher authorities as soon as possible.

We have seen that these calls are received by Sprint users which means that these scammers are targeting Sprint customers right now.

This could change and other telecom customers might also receive this call so make sure to not provide your PIN or Social Security Number to anyone over a phone call.

How to know if a number is spam or real?

There are various methods to find out if someone calling you is a spammer or a real person.

We know that judging each number that is calling you is quite difficult and you may be able to do that but the success rate will be quite low.

Apart from that, what you can do is install apps such as TrueCaller or RoboKill which are available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store on your phone.

These apps or services are designed to fetch information about spam calls and they will display if someone calling you is a spam call or a genuine call from their database.

#1. TrueCaller

TrueCaller is a Swedish business that has been around for more than a decade. The best part about TrueCaller is that they have a massive database of numbers and the list keeps on growing.

TrueCaller identifies these numbers if they are spam calls or not and it even asks its customers to report spam calls on their app.

This is how you can identify if someone calling you is a spammer or a genuine caller.

#2. RoboKiller

RoboKiller is another app/service that lets you identify if someone calling you is a spammer or not.

It is a direct competitor to TrueCaller which means that both these apps or services work the same so it is up to you to try and decide which service is the best.

It is worth mentioning that RoboKiller has already blocked the number +1-844-319-1130 inside their app so if you install this app then your calls will be automatically blocked by them.

The only difference TrueCaller and RoboKiller are that they have different databases of numbers which means some callers might miss out on RoboKiller’s hands and some might slip from TrueCaller’s.

However, I must say that I am personally using TrueCaller and I am a fan of its services because it is 99% accurate in detecting spam calls for me.

Conclusion

These call-blocking apps are a great way to identify serial spam callers and silently block them so you don’t have to bother about them anymore.

We highly recommend you install either of these apps and start using them so you don’t fall for these scam calls.
