Scam phone call?

I've just answered a call from a Bulgarian number on my phone from someone claiming to work for or represent the phone company I use tell in me that I need to go to their shop in Nessabar. WellI didn't get my phone from there, have no idea where their shop is there and pay for my phone via my bank account in another town from that one聽 on a monthly basis and I think that the person phoned my number via dialing the UK from BG.聽 Is this a scam ? I just hung up

My rule is, if I don't know the number I don't answer, if it's important they will leave a message. I had one the other day, a German number. I have a few friends in Germany but none of them have my landline number. I didn't answer and they didn't leave a message. Same goes with my mobile.

I just need to know but be assured I'll not answer again like you said unless I know the number but also like you said if they know me they'll leave a message . It was on my mobile

You could call the shop and ask if they had called you?

I would say that's a scam Kath. I get a couple of those calls per month and I either block the number, or add it too my address phone book as "Do Not Answer".

If I answer one, I let them speak, then just say "angliiski" to which they usually hang up. The key is, these cold calls scam agents, don't like having their time wasted - if they spoke English, I'd string them along.聽 My friend in the UK, still has a landline telephone and gets around six calls a day.聽 He has the time to string them along, with great hilarity.

Most scam calls are AI automated these days; it's much cheaper. In the old days, when it was a person, you could blow a whistle down the phone.

I get a few a week these days to my Bulgarian number, just ignore them. If you have Viber it has a good caller id setting so if you get a call from a number flagged as spam it will show an alert as it rings.

Same here in the US. Don't answer if you don't recognize the number.

That's just what I did this afternoon when I got a call from a Bulgarian number but which started with +3** so I just got rid of it without answering, it actually said it was a call from Sofia.

All Bulgarian numbers start +359...you just don't need to dial the country code if you're in Bulgaria (but you can do if you want to)
