It's one ring phone scam. Don't pick, and don't ever call back.

tables dun turn. One of the root of the problem might be what Nigeria did to usa, london, and sa. Now poorer countries think say we na african USA, cun dey find maga.


Nigerian artist, movie stars, and even at an internally bad period in the country, money still dey rotate. Na wetin dem dey see for all those countries.

A couple of years ago, I hear say tanzania person call person I know for naija, he cun tell the guy say he wan follow joe boy abi somebody talk, na him the guy dey reason say, you well at all. After him clarify say na yeye call be this, he hang up. One hour later, the tanzania guy cun dey call from all kind numbers. How many you wan block. Automated format to call dey. He bother the guy dye for over 5 hours. The guy get headache that day.


Na pay back,for how Naija dey phone bully other countries wey dem think say dey successful. Make we manage am. Them dey play Nigeria, nigerian format.

Always flashing in the middle of the night.

Strange international numbers, na them go taya.

Someone said it's scammers.
Those are scammers per say, those are Indians running call center syndicate.
Those aren't calls, it's more of flashing. Once you pick up, they'll end the call.
What they actually want is for you to call that number back, they will pick up but won't speak. If you call your phone will be charged at intentional rates and those guys gets percentage of the charges.
That's why you see them pushing out millions of calls daily and their target is mostly Africa countries because of our inferiority complex, most people will always call back an international number.

Hello everyone!

It's been awhile I have been receiving calls from different international numbers mostly from Zimbabwe, Pakistan. Due to this, I have to reset my phone factory but it didn't stop. I always receive the beep almost every night, I don block tire.
I heard that if I should mistakenly pick it, most of my social media accounts will be banned.

What can I do to stop it?

Solutions: install True caller, it recognizes most of their numbers and it'll automatically end the call before it rings.

Avoid filling forms any how online, they use fake jobs websites mostly to get those numbers

undecidedYou should check through your phone settings to know if your phone has harassment filter feature. turn it on at night time. By that, no unsaved or unknown phone number local or international would be able to call you.

Remember to turn it off in the morning so you wont miss important or emergency calls.
Also, get truecaller, so you can see all numbers that attempted to reach you while you were busy dreaming.
Don't thank me, that your phone maker if you find that feature.

Lol... I get the same calls too, usually around midnight. Luckily I use a pixel, it recognises the numbers as spam and ends the call immediately. All I see when I wake up are missed call notifications.

Hey there, From [url=https://www.bizmakersamerica.org/los-angeles-ca-usa/%EF%BB%BF%EF%BB%BF%EF%BB%BFreal-estate-construction/sticker-printing-pros]NYC Packaging Solution[/url]!

I completely understand your frustration with those annoying unknown international calls. They can be quite disruptive. Luckily, there are a few steps you can take to minimize or even stop them:

Block the Numbers: If you receive repeated calls from the same number, you can block it on your phone. Most smartphones allow you to do this. This way, that specific number won't be able to call you.

Check Your Phone Settings: Go through your phone's settings and see if there's an option to filter or block calls from unknown or international numbers. You can usually find this under "Call Settings" or something similar.

Use Third-Party Apps: There are various third-party apps available on both Android and iOS that can help you block unwanted calls. You can explore apps like Truecaller, Hiya, or Nomorobo.

Contact Your Carrier: Sometimes, your mobile carrier can help. They might have services or options to block specific types of calls, including international ones.

Don't Answer: If you see an unknown international number, it's often best not to answer. If it's important, the caller will leave a message or find another way to contact you.

Consider Changing Your Number: As a last resort, if the issue persists and you're constantly bombarded with such calls, you might consider changing your phone number. This can be a hassle but could be effective.

Remember to be cautious and avoid sharing personal information over the phone with unknown callers. If you suspect the calls might be part of a scam, report them to your local authorities or relevant agencies.

I hope these tips help you in dealing with those pesky unknown international calls. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Get more info by clicking here.

It's not about the phone or service provider, it's just a call to your line. Even if you use torchlight phone, the call will come through. Blocking is also irrelevant, as the numbers are autogenerated for each calls

Go back and dial

*1234#

Then finally dial 4+4 = 8

And call 911

Tell them you don't want to be international, you want to stay national. That's all.

It's mostly from the sites you've visited when you go online. You can't stop it, and you can't pick those numbers nor call back

You can can't pick because it's a beep (it just ring for 1 second) but you can call back- the call rate is very high, like #10/seconds.
