People finding scammy ways to make money and cause harm is nothing new. For ages, there have been always a section of people who make a living by tricking other people and getting away with it. This post tries to save you from one such scam being operated from Liberia based numbers – starting with +231.
Most likely you have landed on this post via Google or Twitter in an attempt to uncover details about a potential missed you received from a number starting with the International code +231. Hopefully, you did not fall victim of this scam and actually call back. But even if you did, I share a tip below to ensure you never get scammed again.
How does the +231 Premium CallBack scam work?
For anyone who hasn’t received such a call, this is how the scam rolls out. You get a missed call from an unknown number. This missed call starts with the international code +231 which is of Liberia and generally comes in at odd hours like late night or middle of the day i.e. a time when most like you will notice the call. Now when you check your phone and see the missed call notification, out of sheer habit you may just call back to understand who had called. And that’s exactly what the scammers want.
These calls mostly come in at odd times to make you feel you truly missed an important call. When actually these calls never last for more than 2 rings! These numbers are Premium numbers and the instant you call back, you get charged at premium rates. The price can range anywhere from Rs45-90 per minute. When you call in, there may be a voice saying something like – “Hello, you have reached the operator. Please hold.” or something else to make you wait longer. This way you end up paying a lot more for every second you hang out. By the time you disconnect you will realize either you are out of precious mobile balance or there is a bump in your monthly bill.
Update – Looks like Europe is the latest target with a lot of users getting calls from multiple numbers. Leave yours in the comment below if its not already on the list.
100+ of the scam numbers that have been reported by folks all over the world are:

* This list is being updated based on the numbers provided by folks in the comment section of this blog.
This list may not cover all numbers as these keep changing but essentially they are all with the same ISD code. If you have received one such call from a different number, add it here via comments below.
So what should you do?
This goes without saying – Do not call back any unknown numbers starting with +231.
But the bigger problem here is that there are scammers who keep calling from different numbers to trick you in different ways. The ShopIt4Me.com scam being one of them. Now how can you make sure that you already find out that the call in not genuine and save hard-earned money?
- Firstly, when you get a missed call from any unknown number – do not immediately call back.
- Similarly if you get a call from an unknown number who is offering you any kind of deal and congratulating you for being lucky – do not believe them.
- Once you get the missed call or you are done talking with the suspicious person, check if someone has reported the same as scam. These people use the same tricks on a lot of people and quite of few of them are reported online. To find out, there are two ways:
TrueCaller Spammer Check - Good old google. Simply google the number or the scheme. In your search string, add the word “Scam”.
- The other way is installing TrueCaller. TrueCaller is an app where you can mark any number as scam adding it to a global database and others will find the same. So you can simply search for the number and find details like the potential name, location of the call and if it has been flagged by others.
The above steps will take only a few mins but will save you from a pain and monetary loss. Stay cautious and do not fall for any too-good-to-be-true offers. Definitely, do not call back to that missed call number.
If you have suffered from this scam, please share your experience in the comments below to help others.

Vodafone India Issues Warning, Beware of “Missed” ISD Calls

Piyush,
Thanks for the information.
Even i have got many missed calls especially in the odd Hours from the following numbers.
+231330670151
00231330670146
+231330670140
i am using Vodafone.
I am using Vodafone as well. Not sure if this is mostly affecting VF users.
I also got missed calls from this number
+231302375512
Mostly between 12-02:00pm or at night on same time
No Piyush,it isn’t affecting just Vodafone!I’m from the island of Malta,Europe and Liberia have tried scamming me through another company we have on our island,Melita Mobile ,yesterday,Monday 13.11.17 @ 12.08! Luckily it only rang 3 times and I didn’t pick up.The number was:
231 33 233 6218.
Thanks for the info.. I have received quite a few of such calls, very recently from +231. Earlier, I had received calls from a different isd code.. And I use Vodafone too… Is there any way to block such calls altogether?
You can use Truecaller to report spam and block the caller. You can also block calls on your phone by adding the number to a blacklist though the functionality depends on what phone you are using. Don’t think its possible to block all such calls in a direct fashion.
I also received in odd hours
From the same number
Tried to call back call is not getting connected luckily
I might have searched before calling
Need to check how much I have charged
Thanks
Durga
Good that it did not get connected. 🙂

Add this number to the above list.

Thanks for this info Piyush, I have had subsequent missed call like this almost everyday since December and almost made the mistake of calling back with annoyance as it always upset my mind in those odd hours. Thanks again.

Liberia
I’m using Vodafone Australia.
Is it a problem with Vodafone?
This is really helpful man! One of my friends got a call from +341 (yes, only 3-digit number) and I suggested him not to call back or take the call. Actually, this one was a full call (not a missed call).
I had read about such cases earlier so suggested him to not to take the call. You can add this number in your lost above.
I have received 10 missed calls from these numbers over the last two days.
+231 3325 93844
+231 3325 90393
It rings several times each go – occasionally I then immediately have a No Caller ID try and call a number of times, again, for 2-3 rings.
Feel free to add these numbers. I have seen in this feed that some people are with Vodafone in Australia, I’m with Telechoice (Telstra) in Australia so I don’t think it’s just this carrier that is receiving these types of calls.
Thank you!
Got a one ring from this number today. Call originated in Liberia! Don’t even know where that is let alone want to talk with anyone who chooses to live in such a cess pit of a country. Dirty scamming grubs don’t deserve to own a telephone.
Nobody chooses to live in Liberia Peter. It was founded by repatriated slaves from America on the west African coast and has been among the poorest and most violent countries on Earth ever since. They don’t want to talk to you either, Peter. You seem proud of your ignorance. That may be even worse than a “grub” creating a slightly annoying phone scam. If they don’t deserve telephones, then you don’t deserve to have opinions on people or places you know nothing about.
Thanks Greg. Peter piper got the reply he deserves
some more nos;;; +231 33 259 0393, 3844, its so disturbing
I am recieving numerous phone calls per day from scammers in Liberia, calling from two numbers: +231 33 259 3844 & +231 33 259 0393 An example of the amount of calls from these two numbers has been attached. Calls initially came from +216 72 689 904 and +216 72 689 902. When calling these numbers i suffered high bill charges and the person on the other end was speaking another language and no English. I dont know how to stop these thieves from calling me and dont want to change my number!
I had my first call from +216 72 689 903
(Tunisia) on the 29th Jan 2016 @ 3:56am. From then on i’ve had at least one call everyday :-
+231 3325 53300
+231 3325 53881
+231 3325 93844
+231 3325 90393
Everytime i see a new number i block it, but the nxt day they just call me from a new number …
I am receiving about 20 of there a day. Some days they are numbers, some days they are “no caller ID”, then comes up in my messages as a missed call from a number which is usually like this +231 3325 53881.
I am sick to death of the 20 missed calls a day. I’ve registered on the “do not call” website, contacted Optus (my telco) and they can do nothing!
These are the numbers I have blocked so far-
+216 72 689 904
+231 3325 90393
+231 3325 53300
+231 3325 93844
+231 3325 53881
Can’t block “no caller ID”.
I have no idea where they have got my number from but it’s driving me insane!
I am getting missed call from +231888171789
I’ve gotten a couple of such calls and it’s really annoying.. Just wondering… Will they end up paying instead if we’ve picked up their call before they ended the call?
Ideally yes.. but the missed calls are so short and infrequent that it might be quite tricky. Also it would not cost them much.
Hi I also received a call from +231 3325 80695 at this timing. Hope the readers will take note of this number too 🙂 Thanks and have a great day 🙂
+231 3325 80695
I have also received missed call from +231 332572989 at 7.0 am. I Called back. Luckily my mobile doesn’t have ISD facility.

Yesterday 7.27 pm I received a miss call from the number +231330550456, luckily I didnt call back, but came here to look for this number and got this information of fraud calls… thank you
The reason this is not stopped is because Vodafone shares in the money, probably to the tune of millions of rupees every month. It’s all automatic, probably run by Vodafone employees. I had the amounts (Rs 900, from 247 and 257, Ascension islands and Burundi) taken off my bill, but I had to figure it out and argue with Vodafone, who insisted I made the calls.
Vodafone needs to be criminally charged by TRAI and the police, and it needs to block these calls. Remember, Vodafone is billing ON BEHALF OF THE SPAMMERS, so they can easily refuse to do it. They should probably refund Rs 500 to every customer, aside from taking off any charges for these “missed calls.”
Btw, I didn’t call back. I just picked up the phone and the charges started. Second and third time, I blocked the calls – the Rs 900 was mainly on a second number my kids use.
That’s horrendous!
I just got a call from +231 33 252 8213, luckily for me I didn’t call back. But I think Vodafone should do something about it. God save us all.
Well, I won. After ten phone calls, lots of waiting and screaming, three emails to appellate and two visits to the Vodafone Store, all charges plus tax are off my bill and I have a confirming email.
The email is important because in all correspondence, I referred to the problem as a “Multi-Crore Vodafone Fraud” which was pleasant to see repeated by Vodafone. They refer to dropping charges as “one-time only” but as long as I called it fraud and they agreed, the doors may be open to force them return everyone’s money, whether they ask for it or not, and to stop the practice.
In fact, Vodafone lied to me every step of the way. It was one woman at appellate – I called her – who understood and had the power to reverse the charges. Everyone else said “48 hours” and did nothing. The number was cut twice, for a total of 3 days, outrageous as I was not at fault and in constant (if annoying) contact with them.
I will now go to a lawyer and explore options for forcing Vodafone to reverse ALL ‘AFRICAN SPAMMER’ charges on everyone’s bill – and also explore reversing ANY unsolicited and unauthorized charges – for example, for packs, games or software. These are usually Rs 30 to 50 per month, so most people don’t notice. Yet Rs 30 to 10 million customers adds up!
I have started a web site (similar to this forum) which will be up in a few days. This is http://www.happytohelpthemselves.in. Please visit and relate your sad tales. We can connect for details if and when I can get some legal action going.
This is great Brian! Thank you for sharing and more power to you. Appreciate the effort put into this.
I got a miss call on this no +231332595071.

I have had OVER 100 calls from these three numbers since 5:00 on Friday (it’s now 9:20pm Sunday). The numbers are:
+231332553300
+231332553536
+231332555662
I don’t know how they got our numbers??
I can’t block them on my phone unfortunately. But it’s ok. I have their call set as no vibrate and no ring. So doesn’t bother me really. But annoys me
I called them back and got charged. Thankfully vodafone was good and deleted the charges from my bill before I receive the bill.
That’s great. Use truecaller and you should be able to block these calls easily.

Very helpful. I have had 3 calls from 00231 9246508. The first 2 days ago was a missed call. The second I answered and got a real person. I informed him that I was on TPS and that he should not be calling me and rang off before he could say any more. He rang back at once but I let the answerphone pick up the call. No message was left.
At least I am now getting the numbers for International calls now. I also have a 2001 edition of BT’s ‘The Phone Book Companion’ which lists International codes in both numerical and alphabetical by country order, most useful.
Thanks for sharing that Colin. Interesting that someone actually bumped into a real person.

My daughter is with Tesco and has just received a call from 00 231 33 236 7014 which I believe is Liberia. She rang back out of habit and got a message saying to check the number dialed as the number input was incorrect. Not sure if it was a mistake or the number genuinely is incorrect, but either way waiting to see if she’s been charged. Just to add this number to your growing list as I didn’t find it there. Keep up the good work, sites like this are what make the internet worth while.
