Hi All,
Just to let you know about a scam I hadn't heard of, that has just been tried on my Dads mobile.
He had a call where the person at the other end just said "Help... help me!" then hung up. I looked at the phone and it wasn't from anyone we know, and the area code didn't look familiar.
After a bit of research its the Somalia "Help me" scam. Their hope is you call back (Because you are a caring person) where you will either be put on hold, they play erotic audio to you or they keep you talking... on their premium rate number.
The country code was +252. They phone about 6 times.
