bald1Scam calls now from overseas numbers?
Got a call from +48 which is Poland. My phone blocked it because it isn't in my contacts and they didn't leave a voicemail message. Still....
Anyone else getting spurious overseas calls?

ShouldBFishinI got one from Beijing (+86) last week. No voicemail either. It was odd seeing that come up on my phone.

kkinaI've gotten those from time to time for really quite a while.

tatortoddA lot of the scam calls originate from overseas, but most have the spoofer to assign a random phone number (often your area code + your first 3 numbers). Sounds like the OP has encountered one of the call centers that are too dumb/lazy to use a spoofer.
A slimmer possibility is your phone company is using something to defeat the spoofer.

squad13Yes, Beijing +86 yesterday. Huge jump in spam calls over the past week.

YooperSigsI get multiple calls a day from tiny (think a crossroads with a flashing light) town in the Yoop. All scam calls from spoofed numbers.

HRKA few, the numbers were similar to a local area code + number, just everything is out of position, imagine it's the spoofing software just shoving numbers in anywhere, and trying internationals just to see if folks will pick up.

m1009Yeah, I got one from Beijing the other day too. I just blocked it. I just hung up on the call, too. I screen all my calls anymore. If I don’t know the number, or no message, not answering.
