Phone scam

Hey guy. I don't post a thread on the forums that often but I just thought I'd warn everybody. Be care of a phone scam that's going around at the moment. A missed call from a +231 or +235 or + 269 number. They are based on africa. Don't answer or phone them back. It's a scam to put your bill up. Just ignore the call and block the number. Just thought I'd let everybody know

Maybe it's your longlost Nigerian cousin trying to give you your share of the 50 million your longlost grandpa left in his will

I had one today too!!.... Nigeria

But it was my old uncle Albert asking me for my bank account number so he can transfer the profits of a diamond mine we apparently have in our family!

(I didn’t know I have family in Nigeria!)

Liberia and Chad was mine. Thing is could be one of those scams where if you answer you're charged premium rates.

Turns out my old uncle actually died but his lawyer is sending me the money from the will. What an honest guy!

Started getting them last week from various African international dialling codes. Severely getting on my wick so I've blocked random calls until they do one.
