Hi
I got a missed call from +423662691883 at 7:04am this morning.
Being the paranoid Kenyan ;-) that I am, I first Googled for the
country code and the result was "Liechtenstein". One of those coutries
the skip on the map. I also learnt that the number has been used for a
'missed call' scam where you'd lose airtime and more.
1. Are our networks protecting consumers from such 'known threats'?
2. How does the scam work?
Have a careful day,
Wainaina
