Please help!! Foreign numbers from Algeria, Mozambique, Serbia, Benin, Angola, and several other countries keep flashing me. Different numbers oooo.

If i block them, another will flash after some days.
What do they really want?

Who has experienced this before pls?

It's always happening to me. I don't know what the network providers are doing about it. Likewise I do get empty text messages from unknown.

You may be right. Many years ago when i first picked up such calls for just a couple of seconds it wiped off about N800 off my airtime. So i felt it was programmed to transfer
or gulp airtime.

Can your friend teach me the tactics on this code?

Don't bother to return the call. It happens to me twice when I tried to call the number back all my Airtime vanished.
I SUSPECT mtn, airtel, 9mobile etc. so we buy more airtime.

It's glo people, when they find out that you have airtime and not using it that when you'll see flashing, make mistake to call back, your call card will vanished

They are scammers. 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 pinch adverts to the listeners.

Hmmmm you seems to know about it so well. Hope it's not what am thinking lipsrsealed

Those numbers flashing you are Nigeria's scammers. If you call the number back everything in your phone will be downloaded to their system and they will use the information to either defraud you or blackmail you

Those are premium rate numbers. You can get one online. Fix you price eg $2.50 per minute.
Once someone calls the number he pays 2.50 per minute. The telecoms company shares it with you.
The idea then is to attract calls to that line.
So the scarmer flashes so many people and when they call back he makes money the longer he keeps you online.
That is why when you call the number your hear teleprompter etc.

How pls?

Been getting calls from foreign numbers too lately.
I'm suspecting all dis loan app.

Very possible. I installed a VOIP phone system last week only to find out it was for a loan app contact centre. Very unholy setup. Can't go into details of the nonsense they wanted configured

Funny you, what are you thinking. You no serious tongue. Get your self educated on many things oo. Quora and reddit are best places I explore more when I need lots of clarifications. Not all these nairaland limited information being carried up and down by trolls and kiddos.

They are foreign no. But made in Nigeria. Oluwole boys produce foreign no. Pick and waste their airtime but never download any messages sent you where they ask you to download
