I have received 10 calls today from numbers with the same prefix +226 Burkina Faso. Is anyone else having this problem?

MI5 · ‎04-04-2020

Yes, had one earlier.
Just scammers, do not answer and block the number.
If they change the number, keep blocking.

MI5 Thank you, I keep blocking but I’ve never had this many before 😒

Once they have your number they'll keep trying for few days, but will give up eventually.

Thank you .... up to 20 calls now! 😒 I’ve never had this before, how will they have got my number, from a website I’ve used?

It could be from anywhere you've used your number online unfortunately.

I've had over 30 over the weekend. First 20 from somewhere in West Africa, each call from slightly different last 2 digits, then from Turkestan, Albania, Georgia and more still coming ebery 2-3 hours. The first one came up with a text message from O2 inviting me to return the call, which I stupidly did. That cost me £2.50. I kkeep blocking them but it's always a slightly different number. Is the only intended fraud to get you to return an international call? If so, what's in it for them?
