Wangiri scam nepal

After the resolution of fake red number calling, another phone scam has surfaced here in Nepal. With this scam, people  get a miss call from an abroad number with international codes like +21. Then after if you make a call to this number, your balance will be deducted heavily. Lots of people have gone to social medias for their curiosity. They even complained to Mobile operators for this.

Meanwhile both the major operators responded it as a fake one. They ask their customers to be aware by not making a call to these unknown numbers. They are also in the process to block those numbers.

Here is what Nepal Telecom and Ncell post in its official Social medias.

+248, +92 लगायतका विभिन्न अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय नम्बरहरुबाट मिस्डकल आएमा परिचित नम्बर यकिन गरी मात्र कल ब्याक गर्ने निर्णय लिनु हुन अनुरोध छ।
