Missed calls from scam numbers.

[ganesh177]

I am getting missed calls from some scam numbers and if you call back then 15-20 rs gets deducted for 2-3 seconds. For 5-7 seconds more than 60 rs gets deducted.
I am already registered for DND, yet i am getting this kind of irritating stuffs.
Numbers are 00380946509201, 00212692281069, 00380946509254, and some other similar types of numbers.
What is the appropriate way to get rid of this scam.

Why are you calling back??? Just ignore it. I too get calls once a week from numbers starting from +2. You can't do anything about it.

These are international numbers. DND would not work on them anyways.

I am not calling back them now. But i get these miss calls 3-4 times daily.
And thats irritating.

You can add these numbers to block list as they come. There is no way to block them at source from what I understand.

You mean block by android app ?
That seems good idea, can you suggest some app that is simple and will do that job.

Might not need any app. Just add them to a single contact and forward that contact to voicemail. This works if you are not using the voicemail feature as the calls are forwarded to a non-existing number Nishant advised this trick to me. Worked for me when I was getting abusive calls from a member of this forum who was banned.

Easy way to block certain numbers from bothering you on Google Nexus 5

If he has a Samsung android phone, I suppose it has a call blacklist feature built-in.

HTC too from what I remember of One X. Apple iOS 7 also added this functionality I think.

Truecaller app can block calls.
