In some places spam calls like these are common and aren't a sign of a particular scam. Just remember to practice common sense and make sure that the transactions you're making are legit before you send any BTC.

What does this have to do with bitcoin requiring technical support?

Have you lost any bitcoin’s or do you need help with some kind of issue or have you just had unfamiliar numbers calling you because if so your thread is spam & nothing to do with bitcoin?

my ETH wallet has been stolen 1 year ago without knowing how the hacker got my PV key.
I changed the method of protection using 2FA so I am scaring if the hacker can pass 2FA

This is so unlucky.
Make sure your computer is safe from phishing, malware, keylogger because in this case, even with 2 thousand factor authentication the hacker will
get access to your wallet. Use an antivirus, possibly paid. It's just $30/year and it saves you from losing millions. I guess it is worth it

I think this is more for verification of an account you've made or someone used your number for a registration to a particular website. I've received the same call offshore but I just missed it.

After that 1 missed call, they never called me again.

AFAIK, there's no association of calling with your 2FA codes. As long as you're the only one that can see it, you shouldn't feel threatened. 2FA is a good secondary layer for security so as long as you know what you browse, you'll be fine.

hello, friend I want to ask if I really get scammed or not.
this is my situation I find some numbers calling me foreign numbers. I find a message telling me that i was a missing call.
when i try some test i find that my friend calling me but he was blocked i this moment I receive that I have a missing call from somewhere.
so what do you think ??? ???
 

You have probably shared your phone number to a malicious website.
Be careful when answering the phone call from this foreign number as it might pend all the money you have in our mobile card.

it happens sometimes,there was a time that call from another country entering my phone but when i answered he is claiming calling same number a mine but the person is not me,seems that he has been contacting a dummy number of mine because the person is from same country as me.so there is no scamming happen maybe a wrong call or something.

If your wallet ever gets stolen, you use the seed word / priv key elsewhere and move all funds to a new one. That is basic common sense. 2fa is garbage, as long as the wallet has some decent password it will delay the thief long enough for you to do this. 2fa can actually give them another means of entry...

Recently I read and article which said one missed call from unknown number could get the who access of your mobile.So possibly your device is in risk like anyone's.

Most times I get spam missing calls and messages requesting me to subscribe to one of the services in exchange for I send a message and this service will take some of my phone credit, but this does not mean that I have attacked from a scammer, You can easily download the truecaller app to block spam messages and calls and to know who's calling, Also, if you feel that your phone is being monitored by one scammer, I recommend that you do a factory reset immediately.

I think scammer will attack you many ways so don't trust their ways. Many scammer will give you offer earning double money income for input your wallet private key password Gmail many think.

You only receiving weird miss calls. You're not having a lost of something in your assets. You're not scammed, maybe if you make a wrong move you will, just think before clicking or accessing something. So be careful.
