Received a call or message from +54?

A call or text from +54 (or 0054) originates from Argentina.

If you don't know anyone in Argentina, be cautious. Common patterns with unfamiliar international numbers:

  • One-ring scams (Wangiri): The caller rings once and hangs up, hoping you'll call back a premium-rate number. Don't return calls to numbers you don't recognize.
  • SMS phishing: Messages claiming to be from banks, delivery services, or government agencies. Legitimate organizations won't contact you from a +54 number unless you have an account in Argentina.
  • Spoofed numbers: The caller ID can be faked. A call showing +54 may not actually originate from Argentina.
