0770 number scam
Beeline subscribers noted that the operator sent text messages with the number 0770 and an offer to receive additional information by making an outgoing call.
After connecting, the client automatically activated the function, and an automatic informer offered to configure the service or refuse further use.
When trying to turn off Hello, the robotic system broadcast information about a failure or transmitted an error code with a suggestion to repeat the operation later.
The client was forced to repeatedly contact the robot, refuse the function through the “Personal Account” or through technical support operators.
Numerous complaints from subscribers about unlawful debits for imposed services led to a revision of the customer service policy. Since January 2021, there have been no cases of sending messages with a proposal to activate the “Hello” or “Hello+” function.
