    My girlfriend got these calls last month. She ignored it twice and it stoped. A month before that I got calls from Poland and from Michigan. Same procedure.

    It could be simple call ID spoofing. Or it could be my future me trying to warn me from making that world trip one day. But I don’t like getting scammed nor am I willing to fuck with the timeline. Either way, these calls are getting ignored.

      It’s ID spoofing. I got 2 calls within seconds from 2 different countries.

    There used to be a call forwarding scam where you would get a call from another country and then that caller would forward the call to someone else. It would leave you stuck with the crazy high long distance bill. I don’t know if its still a thing or not though.

    If I recall correctly, that’s actually a scam where they somehow make money from redirecting phone call to and out of North Korea. However, I think you as the receiver were just an enabler and are not in danger. brb double check.

    Dude, I’ve been trying to reach you. Why would you post my number on the internet like this?

    Just had one myself, first time I’ve seen one with caller ID.

    I checked the name traced back to a beauty salon in clapham
