Area code 030? Be careful, these callers want to scam you
In many fraudulent calls, the Berlin telephone area code 030 is displayed. It’s not always real. We collect the 030 telephone numbers that have become conspicuous for you and explain what is behind the calls.
The area code 030 actually belongs to the city of Berlin, but not every call with such a number really comes from there. Through “call ID spoofing” this area code is displayed to you by a dialing computer, which is often located abroad. Then, of course, these calls are fraudulent. If you get a call and the phone number is 030 at the beginning, you might find it here.

But if you see one of the above numbers in the display, you can block them directly and this is how it works:
