There's a type of scam going around where you receive a phone call but it only rings once, and even if you answer it quickly enough there's no-one there. They are always international numbers seemingly from all over the World
The scammers want you to reply to find out who's calling you - they are premium-rate numbers and you'll quickly find yourself pressing Option 1, 3, 7 etc. never speaking to anyone, it's all automated and designed to keep you online as long as possible – YES I fell for it once, now I get up to 5 calls a day from t***s hoping I'll call again
My network, O2, are aware and did refund me automatically, but the calls keep coming
Here's where my last ones have supposedly come from, international codes in order...
672 Antarctica!
960 Maldives
256 Alabama
881 Guam
370 Lithuania
995 Georgia
224 Guinea
886 Taiwan
670 Northern Mariana Islands
678 Atlanta
993 – this is the only one Google knows is spam!
The above has been the last 4 days
So if you get a missed call from overseas that you're not expecting DON'T CALL BACK
