Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT) issued a warning to its customers on Saturday 8th February 2020 against returning missed calls from unfamiliar foreign numbers as this appears to be part of a “premium rate scam” designed to incur significant charges to their mobile phones or landline bills.
The warning from TSTT comes as many persons in T&T have received such missed calls, which usually only rings once and show up as coming from the African country of Somalia. When you return the call, you are put on hold by an automated system thereby keeping you on the line to incur substantial call charges. There does not appear to be any phone-hacking involved when your phone number is randomly called. See the statement below from TSTT to its customers and stay tuned for updates.
