Nuisance Calls from Armenia - is it the guinea problem all over again?!

[Katie5]

I’m starting to get nuisance calls from Armenia..a few weeks ago I was getting nuisance calls from guinea and Ghana. Does anyone know if this issue is starting to happen again? Honestly a bloody nightmare! Why does this keep happening on O2?!

Once these scammers have a live number, they will keep on selling the lists on.

All you can really do is ignore and block the numbers until they give up.

@Katie5 It's highly likely that all networks suffer from this, not just O2. Take a look here and see if there's anything that might help you: https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/

Hi @Katie5 

It would appear that these unwanted calls from Armenia, like the previous nuisance calls from Guinea, are not confined to O2 with reports today [Sunday] by scam monitors of calls being received in various parts of the UK on various networks.

Please do not reply to "missed" calls or text messages, as the call may be to a premium rate international number with a very high charge.
