Police department in Beringen, Belgium warns against incoming calls from Poland. The scammer is probably originating from Koszalin, as the prefix +48 94 points toward the town, and wants to force the victim to pay for the phone call.


The scenario is that the scammer calls once, the victim is shown an unanswered call and the scammer hopes that they will call back. According to the portal Next, the Belgian police warns not to return call and immediately block such a number. If the victim calls back, it is recommended to verify their account statement through an app or contact the mobile operator, as this connection can cost a lot.
