Be alert for a phone scam that requests users to call back a number because of legal proceedings. The number is a premium international service which may cost your customers big bikkies.
The first thing that users may do is dial out via the IP Office.

The number originates from Cameroon(+237), so you may wish to add that to your barred short code list, along with Latvia, Somalia, Nigeria etc.


While not recommended to actually participate in 419 baiting, this website is also an excellent read:



daddy? are you doing blah blah blah things again?
