 The FCC indicates both phone numbers in the U.S. and from international area codes that also use three digits are being used in the scam, which is being reported across the country.
The scam is carried out when a victim misses a phone call from an unknown number, calls the number back and is connected to a scammer that is collecting toll fees similar to those of dialing a 1-900 number.
- Do not answer numbers you don’t recognize. Even if you hang up, scammers may mark your phone as a target.
- Do not call back numbers you don’t recognize, especially those appearing to be from another country.
- If you never make international calls, consider talking to your phone company about blocking outbound international calls to prevent accidental tolls.
- Always check your phone bill for charges you don’t recognize.
If you receive one of these calls, you can file a complaint with the FCC at www.fcc.gov/complaints, submit a report to BBB Scam Tracker at www.bbb.org/scamtracker and file a complaint with Beshear’s office.
