Beware: Spam phone-calls
Beware: Spam phone-calls
I've had three calls from +371 numbers these last two days. Rings just once, and that's it. It's a scam.

This applies to +371 and +375 numbers].
Just in case anyone else gets any, since there is absolutely nothing I've done to merit getting them.

My husband mentioned he got two calls from a 371 number a few days ago but didn't answer. The 371 country code is Latvia.
I got a call from phone number 36-101 a few days ago but wasn't near my phone. No message was left. The 36 country code is Hungary.
However, probably not someone calling from those countries if a spammer.

And just now, on the topic of scams etc, I just received the following from my wife...
----------------------
'something scary just happened. i got a message from tony via fb messenger. he first asked if i was online, then asked if i had ibanking. then he asked if i cld possibly help - by transferring funds into an account and he will pay me by cash later. so i asked who this was, and to ensure he's not a nigerian scammer, could he send me a picture of himself now. he said he couldnt, cos he was using his computer to chat (which T would never do), so i replied by saying that i will wait for his identification confirmation over whatsapp. then i texted T and he confirmed that his fb account got hacked! '

There are signs up in the Western Union shops alerting people about the scam your wife suffered. Seems to be an increase in activity on money laundering here recently.
