I don't get it how come i receive calls from Nigeria, Malaysia, New York. It does not happen often but I do get 3x a year at least. Someone told me not to answer it as they might be hackers or scammers. Has it ever happened to you?

I have saved unknown callers whether local or foreign. No, I never answer callers that I do not know. Last Christmas, a foreign number kept calling me. After sometime, I got a text, it was my nephew from Canada, waheehee.

@Janet357 I don't remember all, I have seen calls from India, Nigeria and other countries. Sometimes they are just missed calls, it rings once and then stops so I don't really check because I am not expecting calls from abroad.

@besweet they are scary. hackers come from these countries though we know that hackers can come from everywhere.

I too get them especially from Pakistan. Though I don't get them frequently and have not got one in months I never pick them. They might be hackers or spammers.

Can't remember if it did happen to me in the past. You probably have entered your number online.

Mostly we don't answer them but we do have a son in Ireland so we have to be a bit careful. Mostly he Skypes or goes on Messenger or whatever they do.

I do get a lot of numbers calling me, but they are usually USA, and it's because I was looking for health insurance and I plugged my info into this one website and a lot of companies started calling me to try to sell me insurance. Talk about learning your lesson the hard way. I will never do that again.

once you tell your number to them, they will never stop bugging you.
