    I had 2 calls today one after the other. I called it back but only got put on hold so not sure what it was about. Bit worried it might have been a scam now. No was 00355673283052

    Looks like Albania. Probably a scam.

    Rule of thumb, if a missed call is important they'll leave a message.

    I'm not calling back without one.

    Had a call from the Indian PC doctor earlier about virus on laptop. Told him he was an immoral scammer targeting old and vulnerable people and I'm not sure how he slept at night. He asked me what I called him and when I repeated it he told me I was a dumb motherf*cker and he was going to find me and kill me for talking to and disrespecting him like that.



    Told him it was good to see his true colors and that calls we recorded on my phone(which they are not) and I would be talking to the authorities and he said I misunderstood his words and begged me not to report call :)

    All these calls should be reported. Not though do I think it will stop them.
