Got this a call from this number last night-rang once and quite. Quite disconcerted over it, as I have a brother and his family there on vacation right now. I'm wondering it it's someone who works in their hotel.

I also received a call on my TracFone yesterday, Jan. 14th, at 4:42 pm. Tried to call them back and received a "Check Call Restrictions" note that came up on my phone. WTF ! Nobody has my number except family, a few co-workers & medical offices that I deal with.

The Scam Works Something Like This:
Your wireless phone rings once or twice and then disconnects the call. When the number appears in your wireless phone log as a missed call, it appears to be a typical domestic telephone number starting with a ?649? area code; or you get an e-mail or voicemail (on your residential wired telephone) telling you to call a phone number with an ?809?, ?284?, ?876,? or some other three-digit international area code.
When you return the call, you assume you are making a domestic long distance call ? as ?649,? ?809,? ?284,? ?876,? and other area codes involved in this scam, appear to be typical three-digit U.S. area codes.
When you dial the three-digit area code plus the number, however, you are connected to a phone number outside the United States, often in Canada or the Caribbean, and are charged expensive international call rates, and may be charged for pay-per-call services as well. (In this case, ?649? goes to the Turks and Caicos, ?809? goes to the Dominican Republic, ?284? goes to the British Virgin Islands, and ?876? goes to Jamaica.)
You don?t find out about the higher international call rates until you receive your phone bill.

Got a missed call..have had a couple lately. Wonder if it's part of the Target hack and if they got my phone number and sold to spam

Just got a call from it now too. It rang once then disconnected. Didn't want to call it back. Sounds like it must be more phone spam.
