Fake international missed calls do not call back

Think twice before calling back any unknown missed calls that too if it is a international and unidentified phone number, recently i got a missed call which was just  1 - 2 rings from this number +248980232 but when i searched for this number on the web i came to know that it was a fake number and many people who had called back had got deducted or charged premium ISD rates.


These kinds of fraud are not new to western countries this kind of scam exisit from more than decade and it is said to be originated in japan in 2000's and is called "Wangiri  fraud"  Wangri means one ring and cut.

these calls are intelligently done by setting up the number looking as if it is a local number say a number may  start with +80 or +22 mimicing it as bangalore or mumbai number but these are virtually premium-rate numbers when called back we are screwed big time, the call rate might be anywhere between 50 - 200 rupees  perminute so guys beware before calling back any missed calls on your mobile phone.
