I also had a missed call from +6 something a few days ago. My rule while I've been living here is that if I don't recognise the number then I don't answer.

I'm putting my mobile on silent at night after being plagued with scam calls from Lithuania, Estonia and one of the Stans (can't remember which one).

That's interesting! I got a call from +670 a couple of days but I just thought they're calling the wrong number and didn't answer it.

Google the numbers by adding the word SCAM. Those are scam missed calls. The ones on my phone have been coming from the Ivory Coast.

DH was getting calls late at night last week but the code was 607 from what I can recall. We did not take any of the calls and later came to know that some colleagues of his also got the calls around the same time. Like you we have heard that this is some sort of scam where credit can be stolen if you answer the call??? I really dont have a solution for you but only to say that we faced something similar recently.

Hi, I keep getting calls on my mobile , the numbers that come up are all +239 country codes, when I looked that up it says 'Sao Tome' and 'Principe'. Now I dont know anybody in those countries. The calls are mainly during the night or late at night.... I'm not answering them!! Somebody told me that if you answer they can steal your credit??? Now I'm getting a few 'Unknown' callers too.... Anyone having similar problems?? TIA
