Scam/Fraud
05 Aug 2025
This is a new scam that's going around. Your phone rings once and stops. You then get a text message saying "Missed call: this person/number called at (time and date) DO NOT return the call as you will be connected to a premium number site and will be charged an extortionate rate.
