+5 If a number tied to Belgacom International (also known as BICS) is calling you, it usually means your phone is receiving a automated telemarketing call, a scam, or a number that has been spoofed. Belgacom International Carrier Services is a major wholesale telecom carrier that leases phone number blocks to other companies, meaning scammers or call centers often use lines connected through their network.

Poor line and caller hung up. A search says it belongs to Belgacom so I tried to call back but "Number not recognised" so it does appear to be a scammer spoofing the number.
Reported caller:
