COMREG’S TIPS TO BEAT THE SCAMMERS

if you do dial back an unknown number by mistake, hang up immediately, especially on calls where there appears to be no one on the other end – or where you are left on hold.

if you have friends or relatives abroad who may call you, store their number (including the country prefix) in your phone and be aware of the prefix for the country where they might be calling from.

if you are getting persistent missed calls from an unknown number contact your service provider and follow their code of practice, which is on its website.
