scammers decided to target +1868 but this country too small for it to work in the numbers they need.
Yeah i got one from Somalia this morning. It's phishing and spoofing techniques they use to determine valid numbers and build a database.

Jim Browning is a security expert on YouTube who covers a lot of this stuff, and mostly deals with scammers from India targeting UK. Sometimes he would reverse hack them and screw them back, even shutting down the call centers.

'One Ring' Phone Scam
For illegal robocallers, the goal isn't always getting you to answer. Sometimes, it's getting you to call back.

Every so often, your phone may ring once and then stop. If that happens to you, and you do not recognize the number, do not return the call. You may be the target of a "one-ring" phone scam.

One-ring calls may appear to be from phone numbers somewhere in the United States, including three initial digits that resemble U.S. area codes. But savvy scammers often use international numbers from regions that also begin with three-digit codes – for example, "232" goes to Sierra Leone and "809" goes to the Dominican Republic. Scammers may also use spoofing techniques to further mask the number in your caller ID display.

If you call back, you risk being connected to a phone number outside the U.S. As a result, you may wind up being charged a fee for connecting, along with significant per-minute fees for as long as they can keep you on the phone. These charges may show up on your bill as premium services, international calling, or toll-calling.

Variations of this scam rely on phony voice-mail messages urging you to call a number with an unfamiliar area code to "schedule a delivery" or to notify you about a "sick" relative.

How to avoid this scam
Don't answer or return any calls from numbers you don't recognize.
Before calling unfamiliar numbers, check to see if the area code is international.
If you do not make international calls, ask your phone company to block outgoing international calls on your line.
Always be cautious, even if a number appears authentic.

Why would someone return a call from an international number that they don't know in the first place?

The government is telling you not to call, because they want to call and get all the money.

Valentines coming up eh, go find a real man to look after your suffering family. Let the experts take it from here.

here's another one:

They record your voice and use the recording to carry out scams like billing of real or fake services, etc. They then use the recording as "proof" and blackmail you with threats of fines and bad credit scores, etc.

Calls asking “Can you hear me now?”

Sad that your Valentine's will be your own mammy, because that is the only woman in your life. You could always give her your two piece and fries that you get daily from KFC, because lord knows, she deserves it after your many years of leeching off of her.
