gassbee: They are virtual numbers generated by routing systems. You can't block them finish. It's a smart way of scamming people. It is called "one ring", where they call numbers and immediately disconnect with hopes that curious people will return the call. The scammers use phone numbers bought on the dark web that they use to call other numbers. The aim of the scam is to encourage those who get a missed call to call the number, after which they will be ripped off as the call will be re-routed to premium rate number overseas & will be subsequently billed exorbitant sums for listening to pre-recorded messages. Then they get heavily paid as a commission for referring people to a premium call rates that likely pitch adverts to the listeners. The funny thing is, it might even be your friend that sold out his contacts and collecting cool commission from the agencies. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Happens to me too. Mine is Zimbabwe and Mozambique, and mostly at night. Some times I wake up in the morning only to check my phone and see like three missed calls from either of the countries I mentioned above. Just ignore. |

It's called primium rate numbers. You go online and get one. Any call to that number is charged at primium rate, eg $3 per minute. The proceeds of the call is shared between you and the primium number company. The idea is to get people to call them. So you get calling lists of thousands of numbers, you use an app that flashes numbers on that list. Anyone that sees the flash will wonder who called from abroad and call back. In calling back, he hears different types of messages, just to delay him on the call. The longer he stays the more money you make. This na old levels from many years ago. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Entanglement: It's happening all over the world. It's a one ring call scam. They are pitching adverts to you using your call credit. A third party might have giving your contact out whilst collecting adverts commission on your head. |

tivta:It's not about the phone or service provider, it's just a call to your line. Even if you use torchlight phone, the call will come through. Blocking is also irrelevant, as the numbers are autogenerated for each calls |

labake1: Wangiri fraud. You cannot stop it. Just don't call back because if you do you will be charged heavily. They numbers are routed to a premium number that generates money for the scammers. |
