Mine was 2392282711 as you can see, different number but from the same country. I am in S/Africa and this is not the first time they are calling my line. It is a scam!
Got one today 8th April @ 14:44 on my mobile in Ireland. I didn't answer as I was out but I'm not going to reply either, I expect the charges would be very high. This reminds me of a scam in USA New York I think, where a delivery man took flowers into a large office building saying they were for a Mr or Ms X. When the receptionist said there was no one there by that name the man said it must be a mistake in the flower shop and asked could he ring to see if he got the delivery address or the name wrong. If the receptionist gave him a phone to let him ring he would dial a very high priced premium line which he was involved with and which charged 1,000's of dollars a minute. His job then was to spend as long on the phone as possible.The companies only discovered the fraud when their bills came in weeks later after the operation was closed down. As far as I heard this led to a restriction on the creation of very expensive call lines in the US. I thought it was one of the most ingenious scams created. If people would use this creativity towards positive outcomes the world would certainly be a much better place.
Same number called me at about 3:30 today.Didn't answer it but I heard its a scam from an island called Sao Tome and Principe off the African coast. Are they just calling Irish numbers?
I am in Ireland too, I got a call from this number I missed it, I didn't dare to call back as I don't know the number, I put it in google it got me here
Ya I had a missed call +2392247496 at 16:01 on the Vodafone Network I wonder is their anybody you can report this too so other people do not get caught I put the number in to google and got the information here.
My 70+ year old father has just had this scam done to him. Yes, also in Ireland. He called me as he is deaf and poor sighted so he thought it was one of the relatives being attacked when he rang it back. It is a sex line.
I've rang vodaphone.ie and they told me that this no. is targeting Ireland all this week. It is a scam - a programme will generate automatic numbers and dial them. Once the call is answered (or not) they will slam the phone down when you pick up. If you ring back you get charged loads - got to wait 24 hours to see how much due to a delay on Vodaphones charging system.
Vodaphone have escalated this scam to the Gardai, along with Commission for Communications Regulation in Ireland. I'm just in the process of complaining to ComReg now. Their contact details are http://www.askcomreg.ie/about_us/contact_us.26.LE.asp
Vodaphone advise not to call back under any circumstances. No is +2392247496
