So much so, that in the first place <strong>you will receive a call from an unknown number<\/strong>, usually, with <strong>International prefix<\/strong> and only for one or two seconds, since the idea is that the user does not pick up the call.<\/p>\n<p>The objective is that the user, after hearing or seeing the missed call, <strong>answer that number by calling<\/strong> to check who it was or if it was an important matter. When calling, the user will be dialing a <strong>international or special number<\/strong> that the scammer has prepared so that the rate is as high as possible, which means that the call will be very expensive. Furthermore, everything spent on said call <strong>It will go directly into your pockets.<\/strong> of scammers.<\/p>\n<p>In short, it is a very simple technique through which the attacker tries to make the victim <strong>call back a special high rate number<\/strong> after first making a fleeting missed call and thus awakening the victim&#039;s curiosity. And actually, this scam is very well thought out if we take into account that many companies, especially <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/trucos.com\/en\/internet\/amazon-tricks-how-to-make-the-best-online-purchases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Messenger service<\/a> or telephony<\/strong>, they use special and quite long numbers to communicate with their customers. That is why it is especially easy to fall into the trap if we are not sufficiently attentive.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Missed call scam: what it is and how to avoid the deception\" src=\"\/media\/upload\/2022\/06\/15\/timo-llamada-perdida-01.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"Missed call scam: what it is and how to avoid the deception\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"como evitar\" name=\"como evitar\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">How to avoid falling for the call scam<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>There are several methods to avoid falling into the <a href=\"http:\/\/trucos.com\/en\/mobiles\/double-call-scam-what-it-is-and-how-to-avoid-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">call scam<\/a> loss. To start, you can use<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>proactive measures such as <strong>activate the anti-spam filter<\/strong> What can your have? <a href=\"http:\/\/trucos.com\/en\/mobiles\/how-to-restart-iphone-13\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">smartphone<\/a> to avoid these types of calls. Most current mobile phones offer the possibility of activating a filter that warns you of a suspicious incoming number with the message \u201c<strong>spam call or number<\/strong>\u201d next to the number that is calling you.<\/p>\n<p>The other basic action is that <strong>never call back a strange number<\/strong> or that you don&#039;t know, especially if it starts with a <strong>special or international prefix<\/strong> and if one&#039;s own <strong>number is exaggeratedly long<\/strong>. All these signs point directly to a scam of this type, which aims to make you pay a very high fee by answering an unknown number.<\/p>\n<p>And although many messaging or telephone companies use especially long numbers or numbers that may seem strange, <strong>never respond to numbers like this<\/strong> that are unknown. If they really want something from you <strong>they will call again<\/strong>, but never call them back to avoid falling into a scam of this type.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you receive an international call with the code of another country with a <strong>\u201c+\u201d symbol in front<\/strong>, do not call either, since being an international number you will be paying a <strong>very high rate<\/strong> and if it is a scam, even more expensive.<\/p>\n<p>Now you know <strong>What is the missed call scam and how to avoid falling for this type of scam<\/strong>. Remember, do not return calls from strange numbers, especially strange ones or with foreign codes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5U1TvLMMYs0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Missed call scam: what it is and how to avoid the deception\" src=\"\/media\/upload\/2022\/06\/15\/yt.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"Missed call scam: what it is and how to avoid the deception\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>More mobile tricks<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/trucos.com\/en\/mobiles\/what-do-whatsapp-hearts-mean\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What WhatsApp hearts mean<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/trucos.com\/en\/mobiles\/how-to-reply-messages-on-instagram-iphone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to reply to messages on Instagram: iPhone<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/trucos.com\/en\/mobiles\/how-to-remove-the-time-from-whatsapp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to remove the time from WhatsApp<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/trucos.com\/en\/mobiles\/how-to-restart-iphone-13\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to reset iPhone 13<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We teach you what the now classic missed call scam is and the keys to avoid deception over the telephone;
