Random Phone Calls from Sierra Leone

I have started getting random phone calls from Sierra Leone over night (numbers start +232), not just from one number, but from several different ones. My phone only rings a couple of times and then disconnects before I can answer.

Yesterday I learned that I am not the only one getting these calls from Sierra Leone, and other people I know are receiving them as well.

I am convinced there is going to be a scam or something dodgy behind these calls which is why I never call them back, and now even if I get to my phone in time, I don't answer it.

Is anyone else experiencing this anomaly?

Sierra Leone or Sunny Leone. Probably she is inviting you for the premier of her film JISM2.
