Who Called Me: Unknown & Spam Calls in Peru

Official reporting systems show that between 2022 and February 2025, nearly 8,000 complaints were filed with authorities about spam calls and related abuses in Peru. In the first months of 2025 alone, more than 960 complaints were already recorded.

Quick Safety Tips

• Authorities warn never to share: DNI numbers, banking passwords or SMS verification codes, card numbers or CVV codes, or one-time authentication codes.
• Do not return suspicious international calls (for example, short “ring and hang up” calls). This may be a premium-rate scam.
• Use your phone’s built-in blocking feature, then report the number to your operator and consumer authorities.
• Verify before paying or transferring money. Scammers frequently impersonate banks, delivery services, police officers, and family members claiming emergencies.
• Do not click shortened or unknown links in SMS messages claiming prizes, blocked accounts, or urgent banking issues.

How to Report the Suspicious Call/SMS

1. Register in the “No Publicidad” (Do Not Call) System to avoid telemarketing calls via INDECOPI’s Registro “Gracias… No Insista” system or call 224-7777 (Lima) or 0-800-4-4040 (regions).
2. Contact the National Authority for the Protection of Personal Data (ANPD) for inquiries or complaints related to the misuse of personal data.
3. Contact your mobile network provider:
   Claro – 123 or 080000123
   Movistar – 104 or 0800-11800
   Entel – 123 or 080009000
   Bitel – 123 or 0800 79123

With HeyLocate Free Phone Number Tracker Peru, you receive a detailed report that helps you identify the source, type, and regional assignment of any phone number.

• Carrier/Provider: The mobile or fixed-line operator that issued the number. This shows which telecommunications company manages the connection and originally allocated the number range.
• Line Type: Indicates whether the number is a mobile, landline, VoIP, toll-free, or business line.
• Operator/Area Code: Displays the regional or operator prefix associated with the number. For mobile numbers, this refers to the original network allocation range. For landlines, it identifies the geographic area.
• Country Code (ISO): The two-letter country code under ISO 3166-1 standards. This confirms the country of origin of the number.
• Time Zone: The local time zone linked to the number’s registered region. Peru follows Peru Time (PET, UTC-5) year-round and does not observe daylight saving time.

Local Guide: How Phone Numbers Work in Peru

Understanding Peru’s phone numbering system helps you identify calls, verify numbers, and stay alert to potential scams.

Numbering plan

Country Code (+CC): Peru’s international dialing code is +51.

Trunk Prefix: Peru does not use a separate national trunk prefix like “0” for mobile calls. For landlines, you dial the area code directly (for example, 01 for Lima) when calling domestically.

NSN Length: The National Significant Number (excluding the country code) is 9 digits for mobile numbers and 8 digits for landlines (including the area code).

Common Patterns: Mobile numbers always start with 9 (for example, 9XX XXX XXX). Landlines begin with geographic area codes such as 01 (Lima and Callao), 044 (Trujillo), 054 (Arequipa), 065 (Iquitos), or 082 (Cusco).

Example Formats

Mobile (Domestic): 987 654 321
Mobile (International): +51 987 654 321
Landline (Lima – Domestic): 01 234 5678
Landline (International): +51 1 234 5678
International Call from Peru: 00 1 212 555 7890 (United States)

Trending Prefixes & Patterns

9XX XXX XXX – Mobile numbers (Claro, Movistar, Entel, Bitel ranges)

Area codes: 01 – Lima & Callao, 044 – Trujillo (La Libertad), 054 – Arequipa, 065 – Iquitos (Loreto), 082 – Cusco, 061 – Piura, 043 – Chimbote, 064 – Huancayo.

Scam callers in Peru often spoof mobile numbers starting with 9 to appear local and trustworthy. Some fraud attempts also imitate Lima landline numbers (01) to give the impression of a bank, government office, or established company. Always verify suspicious calls before sharing personal or financial information.

Calling Habits & Common Scam Themes

Peru is a mobile-first country. Most personal communication, small-business contacts, delivery services, and taxi coordination happen via mobile numbers (9XX) and WhatsApp.

However, there are no longer definitive mobile prefixes that reliably identify a specific provider due to the mobile number portability (Portabilidad Numérica).

A common scam pattern involves a short missed call from a mobile number; the victim calls back, and the call is redirected to a premium or fraudulent service.

Emerging Scam Themes

• AI Voice “Family Emergency” Scam: Scammers use AI-generated voice cloning to impersonate relatives in distress and pressure victims into making urgent transfers via Yape or bank apps.
• “Wrong Transfer” Refund Scam: Victims receive a small, legitimate transfer and are called by fraudsters who ask them to return the money to a different account before the original transaction is reversed.
• Fake Yape & Plin Security Verification Calls: Criminals pose as bank or wallet security staff and request one-time passwords (OTP) to “verify” or “cancel” suspicious digital payments.
• QR Code Delivery Phishing Scam: Callers pretending to be courier services send QR codes or SMS links leading to fake payment or card verification pages.
• WhatsApp Business Account Takeover Calls: Fraudsters contact small business owners, claim an account suspension, and trick them into sharing SMS login codes to hijack WhatsApp Business accounts.
