Check unknown Russian numbers with recent reports (Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg) and share your experience.
Unsure about a Russian number? Explore concise community notes to judge calls and texts. In Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk and Yekaterinburg you’ll see legitimate callbacks (deliveries, banking, appointments) and waves of robocalls or phishing. Prefixes like 495/499 (Moscow), 812 (Saint Petersburg) and mobile 9xx ranges provide context but do not prove origin due to portability and VoIP.
Verification: return calls via the official number on the provider’s website/app, check in‑app notices, and never share one‑time codes. Use device/carrier blocking for repeat issues and leave a short, factual note here to help others.
