....call it back and ask who it is, or answer it. Crazy I know.

kregoron · June 20, 2013, 01:47:57 PM

the odd thing is, it never rings more then once.

Possible it a mate with a new number and not the money to talk to you and wants you to call them back

Call it back, it could be a Nigerian prince with some spare cash to hide....

If you're on a mobile have a hunt for a free security program, Norton Avast, Lookout etc that offer number blocking and just block it.

If you're an Android, can't you add it as a contact and then block it?

That would probably be the sensible efficient thing to do, which is why I didn't mention it...... :doh:

kregoron · June 20, 2013, 08:33:45 PM

i have no problems blocking it, im more interested in who is calling me

tho just tried on my work phone, and it blocked the call, which would indicate its a service that costs money.

Good oldfashioned callback scam

Nice link Jamin, not seen that one before and it's a useful page, thank you! :thumbsup:

Perfectly fits the number too, scam alert!
