What is described below is most likely no longer relevant and has become a thing of the past, after the transfer to MTS money.
What is this number 6996
Message 6996 is sent by the MTS operator, whose services the subscriber most likely uses. Number 6996 notifies you of a payment that can be either confirmed or rejected. Most often this is some kind of replenishment of the balance of an online wallet or card.
Money for a message can be debited either from the balance of your number’s online account or from a card linked for easy replenishment and payment of tariffs.
Reasons why you received a message from number 6996
There may be several, but most of them are quite safe, so you don't always have to be wary of number 6996:
- Error when entering payment number. Yes, the MTS number is not always 100% unique, so some people may make a mistake by replacing one character of their own number with yours. So you will receive a message from 6996;
- Forgotten payment. Sometimes so many people use it that number 6996 does not have time to send all the notifications. Perhaps you previously wanted to top up your account, but forgot about it and did not confirm it. It is better to immediately carefully check the details of the wallet or bank account number that were displayed when receiving a message from 6996. They are not completely filled in, so you can easily compare your and other numbers;
- The most dangerous reason is fraud. This service is well used by scammers. We need to talk about their methods further, but through number 6996 you can easily send all your money to a stranger’s account.
Signs of fraud and how to avoid getting scammed through number 6996
There are only 2 most common ways to deceive an MTS subscriber:
- Viruses. Often, when downloading some strange files, in particular .Apk extensions, a smartphone user can introduce unpleasant remote access viruses with them. The scheme is simple: after gaining access to your phone, the scammer can easily find out your number, and then the payment will be registered through it. After these actions, a message will be sent to number 6996 and automatically deleted, as well as further confirmation;
- Charming teeth. A more noticeable and easily solved method of deception. Here you will already receive a message from number 6996. After this, the same person “who accidentally indicated your number” will call you. At the same time, he will not ask you to cancel the payment or not to worry, but on the contrary, the unknown person will tell you to answer 6996.
Precautionary measures
An antivirus will protect you from further actions of the virus (as well as from receiving it). Thanks to him, the scammer will not be able to send a message to 6996 if he even gets into your smartphone.
When you call from an unknown person, only adequate actions will save you. Namely, you cannot:
- Listen to his words;
- Send any messages to 6996;
- Transfer funds using alternative methods.
It is worth blocking the number through the smartphone settings (if possible). You also need to contact MTS support service. If you manage to record the entire conversation, this will be a great help in working on blocking.
Rescue funds sent using 6996

Fraud
Fraudsters use it in their illegal activities. In this way, they steal funds from the operator’s clients from their account balances.

Next, the payment is made, and the unsuspecting subscriber receives a message from number 6996.
Next, the scammer calls the victim and asks him to name the code that came in the corresponding SMS. In this case, they often introduce themselves as an employee of the operator or refer to an error in the process of filling out information. If the subscriber provides the code, funds are withdrawn from his account to pay for the purchase.
You may also receive a message from number 6996 indicating that there are insufficient funds to make a payment. This means that the attacker tried to make a purchase, the cost of which exceeds the amount available on the subscriber’s balance.

How does fraud manifest itself when used, and how to disable it if you have become a victim of deception?
Alas, almost any attacker can obtain a subscriber’s number in a dishonest way (leaked databases, purchasing from companies, etc.), then open an electronic wallet and create a request for a money transfer.
From the number “NUMBER “>' data-sheets-userformat=',”12”:0>'> 6996 the subscriber will receive a code for making transfers. To find out this code, the scammer calls the subscriber, introducing himself as an MTS employee, and then asks to call him under some important pretext. Having received the secret code, the scammer confirms the operation, after which he debits the funds from his victim’s account.
- Therefore, all operators warn customers not to tell their codes to anyone, even those who are called representatives of the operator.
- But people don’t listen and continue to fall for the scammers’ bait.
- The situation is easy to avoid, since you can disable 6996 on MTS in different ways - even users who are not the most advanced in modern technology can cope with this.
The only fault of the operator is that the company automatically connected this option to subscribers, as a result of which many do not even know about it. You may be one of these users... Check and disable if necessary. And you can always pay bills with a bank card or cash.
In addition, you can come to the nearest operator’s office, taking your mobile phone and passport with you, and the employees themselves will perform the necessary operations to disable the option.
What kind of service is this - 6996 from MTS - many are interested. From this number, the operator’s subscribers receive SMS messages asking them to confirm payments for a certain amount, and people who are far from the company’s offers begin to suspect fraud. Yes, money hunters do use the service for criminal purposes when they try to withdraw money from your account. But in the hands of an understanding person, the service works for good - with its help, without connecting, you can pay for dozens of services without letting go of your mobile phone.
