I keep getting phone calls from either of these numbers in the middle of the night for the past couple of weeks.
It only rings once or twice, so I think it is a scam. Anyone else getting them, or actually called back?
[moderator note: title of thread modified so people don't accidently skype the numbers!!!]
at 1.30 a miss call came and i picked it from same number lol
U Cant change ME and dONt EVen TrY
I keep getting these calls too, trust me,,their scammers!!
don't reply nor redial...never..
They charge QTel who then charge you!
That's how premium rate numbers work - they pay to set up the number and then get commision from the telephone companies whenever someone calls it. However, when it's done internationally I don't know the ins-and-outs of which telco (qtel or the one in guinae-bissau) pays what amount of commision.
can anyone explain to me how the scamers getting money from Q-Tel?
I too get a lot of these calls.Tried calling back but nobody picks it up.
Don't know from which part of the world these come from
I also received a missd call but I cant remember the exact number but i know it start from +24... something...
can you help me where is the location of police presinct where i can submit the number of a caller that cause FIGHT between me and my bf....i want to submit a complain toward this caller..Is it possible???
thank you guys
never pick up strange number unless u expecting the calls.
Everybody is right and Everybody is wrong, its depend where you stand
I've had the number call on both my phones.
Don't call it back - you will get charged and they will get a commission. This stuff is really common.
There was a similiar one like this done from Russia. When you returned the call you were charged a fortune and the person you were calling was making a huge amount from you.
If you don't know the number, or the country code, don't ever return these sorts of missed calls.
Give him/her my no................i am waiting for the missed call,,,,,,,,yikessssssss

"Make a difference or make way"
There are various scams. Like one guy tried to sell me shares. He spoke American English and he was tellin me stuff which were so convincing. He called me for 4 days continuously and finally I got so pissed of that I said ...... Try someone else dude. If you fall prey to it.....next thing is you would transfer them money and u get nothing. Forget phone calls. Once an adv came in Dubai paper. Recruitment for offshore oil rigs in Canada. We have to apply for it and the charges were 150 US$. I filled it out and send it. It was in Khaleej times.....most reputed newspaper. But it was a scam.
Anyone with any sense will understand not to get involved with such things, there have been quite a few cases worldwide with British girls getting involved with drugs justtaking packages to help someone.
I have received phone calls from GB in the same manner to and don't have any family or friends there I am sure it is all scam one has to be careful.
They get money from the premium rate charges you pay when you call the number back.
GM - what are they getting out of this. If you call back Q-Tel will charge you and they don't pay a commision to this idiot :(
"Make a difference or make way"
There was something that happened a month back. 2 brit girls got contacted like this. They were 16 years old i guess. Flew down to some african country since they were told they would get 1 million pound if they smuggled out drugs from there. They flew down and got caught in the act.
"Make a difference or make way"
There are people who are not as wise as you and me who might fall for it. Money runs the world
So what they gain out of this scam
"Make a difference or make way" Any calls like that are thru internet. And there are millions of ways to get mobile numbers. It can even be just random dialing. Ones someone picks up they save that number. Just ignore it. I once got a call from US saying he has microsoft shares to sell. Heights of nonsense.
Apparently it is a scam. Don't call them back. There was a thread on QL about it a few days back.
The call is coming from Guinea-Bissau (+245). If you call back you're charged at premium rates.
I also got this blooxy call several times :( How they know my no.?
may be you got a secret admirer or lover trying to reach you or propose you :D
