The callers on 072191140920 pretend to be 1 & 1 employees who want to compare a lot of data before they even get to the reason for their call. Inquiries from 1 & 1 have shown that this is not a company telephone number. It is a typical phishing call that is made for fraudulent purposes.

This is known from the number 072191140920:

• The number 072191140920 does not belong to 1 & 1.
• The callers pretend to be 1 & 1 service staff who want to compare data. In some cases there is also talk of matching within the framework of the GDPR.
• Sometimes you already have your data. They may have been bought or stolen.
• The following data is requested: name, date of birth, email address, the last numbers of your IBAN and recently the "service PIN". It is theoretically possible to order additional services or upgrades in your name from 1 & 1!
• In most cases, the victim is offered a “better” cell phone contract.
• If you ask too urgently at the beginning of the conversation what is at stake or refuse to compare the data, the callers will get bold or hang up immediately.
• The calls are also made if you are prohibited from making contact in your 1 & 1 Control Center. This shows that it is a fraud.
• It will not only call phone numbers, but also landline telephones.
• The callers try to bring you to an affirmative "yes" by skilful conversation, which will be recorded safely. This is illegal without consent to the recording, which you can also change in the Control Center.
• The calls are repeated.

It is best not to take off when you see the number 072191140920. They are trying to force you to a new cell phone contract, or you want to sell other services from 1 & 1. The calls are definitely not on behalf of 1 & 1, but there must be some relationship between the companies in order for commission to be paid.
