I get many such calls where they call and then just hang up. I never call back. These calls are from people who run scams. If someone really speaks to me and offers me millions of dollars, I play around with him and waste his money till he runs away.

Note: The country code of +224 is Guinea, and it is a scam. Do not answer or call back. In the past week or so, I've gotten 8-10 missed calls from a couple different numbers all starting with +224.

To the person who said that it is from the US - Chicago, Illinois area- it is not. Getting a call, any call, from the US would include the country code of +001 or +01 in front of the AREA code (3-digits) and then a 7-digit number.

Here is another number now calling from Guinea to scam people. The numbers used are premium rate numbers where the users are charged at very high rate compared to regular foreign call rate.

I heard that when you call to those mobile numbers all your data saved in the phone can access to the other party...its another scam method..So dont call back them...

"If you are important for somebody the call will come gain...Dont go behind ugly dog who doesn't care about you"

That's a PHONE CALL SCAM from American state of Illinois or from the country of Guinea.

Are you crazy to call back an unknown number? Do you know someone to call from that country code? Have you heard about sim cloning?

If they want to talk to you they will call again. It could be a trap. There are lots of mafia who are doing cloning of sim cards and using it for illegal purposes. If you call back your sim could get cloned and will be used by them for illegal activities which could lead you to great trouble. If you are getting missed calls from unknow numbers just ignore it for being safe.

it is a scam...I have had calls from +224, + 239, +370...best advice is that if you dont recognise the number, don't answer the call and don't call back or text...

why you are answering strange number?, even more it is international number, and why giving you missed call

anyway, this number from Guinea, and it is mobile number

The only thing i can tell you is that someone from Guinea is miss-calling you...

As far as I know there are multiple case where someone miss-calls and you call back and then your phone load is gone or you get charged a lot if you have a subscription.

But as far as i know, now there are security measures in place to prevent this from happening. But that doesn't mean that they do not happen anyway :)

Just be careful and don't call back.

Send an email to Qtel or Vodafone and tell them about your problem. Normally they should be able to help (block the phone number from calling again).

I'm not sure but i think you can also do that from your phone...

You're getting missed calls from an international number you don't recognize and you call it back? WHY?

If the caller really wants to contact you, THEY will call back.
