Another Reason to Not Return Mysterious Missed Calls: It's a Scam

Phone ScamThe Better Business Bureau is reporting a another common phone scam you should be familiar with – the one ring missed call. Callers are reportedly getting one ring from an unknown, international number which then charges them to call back, usually, to a ‘chat’ line or a paid for telephone adult entertainment service.

Some victims are reporting a $19.95 bill just to make the return call, and an additional charge of up to $9 per minute.
