Polish Phone Number Lookup (+48)

Unknown calls from Poland

Poland has a well-known catalogue of phone scams with their own names: "na wnuczka" (grandchild), "na policjanta" (police officer) and "na pracownika banku" (bank employee). Fake messages about unpaid electricity bills, InPost parcels and OLX sales are equally widespread. A 2023 law requires operators to fight caller-ID spoofing and SMS fraud, and CERT Polska collects suspicious messages. Many foreigners now live and work in Warsaw, Kraków and Wrocław, and they also receive calls from couriers, landlords and the voivodeship office about residence permits, so checking a nine-digit number before answering is useful for locals and newcomers alike.

Common phone scams in Poland

Fake bank employee ("na pracownika banku")

A caller claims to be from your bank's security department, sometimes with the bank's number displayed. They say someone is trying to take a loan in your name and ask you to install a remote-access app or transfer money to a "safe" account. Polish banks never ask for this; end the call and ring your bank yourself.

Grandchild and police officer scams

Older people receive calls from someone pretending to be a grandchild or a police officer, saying a relative caused an accident or that their savings are at risk. Money is to be handed to a courier or deposited somewhere. Police in Poland never collect cash; call 112 or the relative directly.

Electricity cut-off and parcel SMS

Texts warn that your power will be disconnected tonight unless you pay a small arrears amount, or that an InPost or DPD parcel needs a fee. The link leads to a fake payment page. Forward such messages to 8080 and check accounts only through the supplier's official website or app.

Report scam calls in Poland

Forward suspicious text messages free of charge to 8080, CERT Polska's reporting number, or report incidents at incydent.cert.pl. Report fraud to the police on 112 or at a station. Unsolicited marketing calls without consent can be reported to the UOKiK consumer authority or the UODO data protection office.

Poland has no national do-not-call register. Block numbers on your phone and use your carrier's spam filtering.
