The area code 0033 belongs to France. In very few cases are calls or text messages from this country genuine and legitimate. Now most of you have next to no business connections there.

Area Code +33 / 0033 – Spam & Fraud on this number
- The country code 0033 or +33 belongs to France.
- French mobile phone numbers such as 0033624131896 or 0033771441679 send text messages to Germany that threaten, for example, with an alleged Netflix account deletion due to late payment or demand customs payment for a DHL package.
- These SMS then contain links to deceptively real counterfeit web pages on which one is supposed to enter one’s personal data, access data and even account and credit card data.
- Some anomalies indicate that the fake pages actually come from France. For example, HTML fields contain French designations or the date formatting is stored in French.
- However, the perpetrators remain anonymous and the servers are usually located in Russia or China.
- Anyone who has entered their Netflix access data there may not only lose money, but also access to their account – which is then sold cheaply abroad.
