Received call from this number at 12:55AM. No message. Didn't answer. Only number and unknown number showed up on CID. Why can't our federal government and state Do Not Call Lists work?

I got a call from 268-762-0152 and turns out it is from an international number. I was not sure so I called it back since it did not leave a message. Then this morning on the news I hear this is a scam to get American money.
From now on it there is no message I am not calling back. I am very angry!!
| Diane 2014-02-05 13:42:30 Unknown |
Same here. Rang twice and hung up. What's that all about? Are they trying to get my personal info?
| Annoyed 2014-02-05 12:07:39 Unknown |

I found a report that this is a scam to get people to call back the number and charge $20 plus $9 per minute, actually I wouldn't trust any 268 area code unless you actually know someone in Antigua or Barbados
| Danielle 2014-02-05 05:58:39 Unknown |
Got a phone call at almost one in the morning. People are confirming it is a scam 19.95 for the international call plus 9.99 a minute, people like this make me sick. Sticks you on hold trying to jack up your bill DO NOT CALL BACK!!!

One ring spam call, 268-762-0152, Don't call these Caribbean numbers back unless you want a large bill.

Per verizon wireless, this number/area code and the other area codes listed below are scams - DO NOT CALL BACK - you will incur serveral charges on your cell phone bill if you call the number back.
The 268 area code has been linked to a form of telephone fraud known as the "one ring scam". The person perpetuating the scam calls the victim via a robodialer or similar means, sometimes at odd hours of the night, then hangs up when the phone is answered with the hope that they will be curious enough to call the number back. When the victim does this, an automatic $19.95 international call fee is charged to their account, as well as $9.00/min thereafter. Similar scams have been linked to Grenada (area code 473), Antigua (area code 268), Jamaica (area code 876), the Dominican Republic (area code 809) and the British Virgin Islands (area code 284).[1]

Called twice. Let it ring twice. Hung up. No message. I blocked them & will not be calling back. You shouldn't either!

An inquiry was received on a voicemail requesting a return call to the (473) area code that is most likely an example of a known pay-per-call telecommunications scam. The ?473? scam has many permutations but they all involve a message (either by email, voicemail or pager) that you immediately call (or fax) a number in the ?473? area code or some other area code in the Caribbean. Examples of why you should call or fax the phone number include avoiding litigation, receiving information about someone who has been arrested or died, winning a wonderful prize, or getting a job.
The ?473? area code is in the Caribbean, yet most people are not aware that they are making an international call when they dial the ?473? area code, since you simply dial 1-473-xxx-xxxx to place the call. No international access codes are required.
The problem comes from the fact that some phone numbers in the ?473? area code are ?pay-per-call? numbers (like area code (900) numbers in the US), but in the Caribbean there are no legal requirements that callers be informed that they are being charged extra. When you return one of these ?pay-per-call? 473 calls, the scammers try to keep you on the phone as long as possible, and you may be charged very high rates for the call, reportedly up to $25 per minute.
It is difficult to get credit for these charges if you do get scammed since you did make the call, and resolving the problem involves getting credit from international phone companies.
Since there are now many area codes in the Caribbean, this scam is not confined to just the 473 area code. Listed below are some other area codes in the Caribbean. One good rule of protection is: If you don?t recognize a number do not respond.
Country or island Area code Anguilla 264, Antigua and Barbuda 268, Bahamas 242, Barbados 246, Bermuda 441, British Virgin Islands 284, Cayman Islands 345, Dominican Republic 809, Dominica 767, Grenada 473, Jamaica 876, Montserrat 664, St. Kitts & Nevis 869, St. Lucia 758, St. Vincent & the Grenadines 784, Trinidad & Tobago 868, Turks & Caicos649.

These scammers were on the news last night. If you call the number back, you'll get a big phone bill in return. My phone says "Antigua/Barbuda".
