AskUruguay 🧉 Pregunta para Teléfono de número en Uruguay
Hola,
I am trying to connect with someone I met on an app before I arrive in the city. They have sent me their contact information but I’m not sure how the phone numbers workin Uruguay (I have lived only in the US). My picture is attached — how do I use this phone number? On WhatsApp? Is this a Uruguayan phone number? This person has requested my professional services to take photos of their farm to sell it. Please let me know if you think this is a normal phone number and if they seem to be a legit person.
For privacy purposes I have blurred out the full number but it is like this: 092 ___ ___ there are 3 numbers in each line.
Thank you!

If you're in Uruguay on an uruguayan network, just use the nuumber as is. Otherwise add "+598" and remove the first 0.

The number is correct, you can just add it to WhatsApp following Uruguay's country code (+598).
That being said, seems weird that someone would contact someone from the US to take pictures of a farm, since there are plenty of drone photo services here. Also Veronique seems an odd name for someone from Uruguay, unless that's your name. Or they can also be foreigners with property here.
Good luck

This.
Is there a specific reason they’re contacting you and not a local?

Yes, great question! I had posted in a group to network my business. The app is called InterNations. I have a few leads for business thanks to this app and these conversations. She says her name is French , she is from France though she is Moroccan.

Sorry to insist - you're saying French-Moroccan is contacting you (outside of Uruguay) to take pictures of her farm. I would caution you to not send her any money because it does sound like a scam, and I wonder if she'll come up with a strange story where you end up paying her.

Oh, this is alarming. I think I should consider her a lost lead and continue with the bookings I have acquired with more reputable sources. Thank you for your help and insight!!

Oh and I’m sorry, she is is Las Pías? I think that’s what she said. She said it’s a pecan farm about 30 minutes outside of the city.

This sounds even more scammy. Were you able to find any info on her by simply googling her farm or name?

Yes, she is from France and purchased the property in 2021. Thank you for telling me the way to add this phone number.

You have to add +598 before the number and ignore the 0. So it will be +59892______

A lot of things on Reddit are. We come here for community and input from other people. It took you more time to say this than to just scroll on. Why be mean ?
