Azercell alerts subscribers on cases of fraudulent offers for sale of fake numbers

Azercell informs you that some subscribers have recently encountered cases of fraudulent offers for the sale of fake numbers on behalf of Azercell Telekom LLC.

There have also been cases where scammers contact subscribers on behalf of our company, demanding data ID cards, offering fake numbers, and making demands for payment.

Checks carried out by Azercell based on subscribers' requests show that neither Azercell nor the company's official dealers for selling numbers carried out any operations to register numbers sent by scammers to number subscribers.

Whereas the above mentioned undesirable situation has nothing to do with Azercell Telekom, affected citizens are advised to contact law enforcement agencies.

Azercell encourages its subscribers to follow basic security recommendations in order to prevent possible fraud when choosing and ordering a number:

- Be careful when accepting calls from strangers offering you a number or asking for confidential information;

- Do not make payments based on calls or SMS received from unknown persons;

- Do not share ID information with sources you do not trust;

- Also, do not use sites with questionable content and do not take part in games, competitions, etc. held through these sites;

- Do not click on suspicious links received in SMS or WhatsApp messages.

To purchase a new number, use only the official sources of Azercell:
