A recent warning from Whoscall, a popular caller ID app, advises users to be cautious of incoming calls with the +422 country code. This code is increasingly being used by scammers to disguise their origin and target victims. While +422 is a valid international code allocated for test numbers, its use by malicious actors is rising sharply. Whoscall reports a surge in user complaints regarding calls with this prefix attempting various fraudulent schemes. Experts suggest avoiding answering calls from unknown numbers displaying +422, and blocking them if possible. Users are reminded to verify the caller's identity before divulging any personal or financial information. Staying vigilant and reporting suspicious calls remains crucial to combating phone fraud.
