Hello, I have received a scam telephone call to my landline and caller display shows the caller as 0031625679475, a 13 digit number. Is this likely to be a genuine number from something like an IP digital phone? My sister has received several similar calls with long numbers starting with 003
Unless I was expecting an international call, I would be very wary about answering it at all. The pond-life have worked out that people won't answer calls which say "Withheld" so with the connivance of crooked telecoms providers they now put any old made-up number in the presentation number field.
Generally, if I don't actively recognize the calling number I let the answering machine take it. Anyone genuine will leave a message.
