    Not sure if this is the right forum to post, but i keep getting strange calls from a +23480 number. I've gotten 8 of these calls in the last week or two, but i have not answered any of them.

    According to google, this number is a nigerian number, and is probably a scam. Can anyone confirm this? What should i do?

    Coming from Nigeria it is most likely a scam. I wouldn't answer them, get onto your network and let them know its happening, then if you want to take it further and get the number blocked.

    Very true. I always do with with emails. At least when they're chatting with me then they're not harassing anybody else :pac:

    keeping on thread, it would be wise to block international calls. Just ask your provider.
