Unknown calls from Saudi Arabia

Daily life in Saudi Arabia is closely linked to digital government and banking services, from Absher to mobile banking apps, and phone fraud mirrors that shift. Callers pretend to be bank employees updating records, government officials verifying identities, or couriers chasing a delivery fee. Fake offers for Hajj and Umrah packages appear around the pilgrimage seasons. Large expatriate communities also receive calls from home countries and from agencies arranging work visas. Since a single shared code can give a criminal access to an account, Saudis and residents often check an unknown 05 number before engaging.

Common phone scams in Saudi Arabia

Bank data update calls

A caller claiming to work for your bank or the central bank says your account will be frozen unless you update your details now. They then ask for the verification code just sent by SMS, which actually authorises a new device or transfer. Saudi banks do not ask customers to share these codes.

Fake courier delivery fees

SMS messages impersonate Saudi Post (SPL) or courier companies and claim a shipment is waiting for a small customs or address fee. The link leads to a fake payment page that captures card details. Track parcels only through the official app or website of the carrier.

Hajj and Umrah package fraud

Fraudsters advertise cheap pilgrimage packages or permits by phone and social media, take deposits, and then vanish. Pilgrims should book only through licensed operators and the official Nusuk platform. Offers that bypass official permit systems or demand transfers to personal accounts are red flags.

Report scam calls in Saudi Arabia

Report fraud to the police through the Kollona Amn app or 911/999, contact your bank's fraud line straight away, and submit complaints about telecom misuse to your operator or to CST.

Stop unwanted calls

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

Saudi Arabia number lookup FAQ

Who called me from +966?+

+966 is Saudi Arabia's country code. If 5 follows, the call came from a mobile; 11 means Riyadh and 12 Jeddah or Makkah landlines. Unexpected requests for verification codes should be refused.

Which network does a 05X number belong to?+

The digit after 05 shows the original operator: 0, 3 and 5 for stc, 4 and 6 for Mobily, 8 and 9 for Zain. Since numbers can be ported, the current network may differ. You can check community reports on WhoCallsMe for any number.

Is a call from a 9200 number genuine?+

9200 numbers are unified business lines, mostly used by legitimate companies. Caller ID can be faked, though, so if the caller asks for passwords or codes, end the call and phone the company through its official website.
