Strange Occurrence Happening With My Phoneline Lately. by motionarena: 1:46pm On Aug 16, 2020
Of late I have been getting calls from different numbers at least twice a day.

When i pick the line I hear nothing, I just keep saying hello until I hang up in frustration.

When I decide to call d number back it never goes through keep saying busy.

This has been happening too much and all the numbers are different.

My phone is perfectly fine as I receive and make calls with it regularly.

Has anyone experienced this.

I highly suspect a phone scam with supracharge numbers, my advice is to block those numbers and NEVER call back!

It's not every missed call, you return....... Some calls are premium charged numbers, once you dial it, you get a hefty connection charge.....


Don't know if such scam lines are allowed to connect via 9ja systems.............
