### 1/5 — Scammers-Don’t waste money

*2026-08-03*

These guys are outright scammers. They are selling the number which is already being used by some other person legally. I took WhatsApp service and I started receiving messages intendend for someone else and it got logged out in few days. When I told this to their customer care fool called “John”, he is telling he can’t verify it and they sell number for only messages and he can’t do anything. OUTRIGHT SCAMMERS. Don’t waste money.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Please contact support@temp-number.org for assistance with your issue. 🙏

### 1/5 — ARNARQUE

*2026-03-28*

J’ai payé 10 euros. Pour une esim belgique catégorie « autre ». Qui ne marche juste pas.
Mais ce c’est pas tout.
Le prix qui était à la base de 6 euros est passé à 10 puis 18 euros dès que j’ai payé ! ( Nouveaux prix dès qu’on clique dessus mais pas présent avant le paiement) Une belle arnaque.
Je conteste ce paiement via ma banque.
