There's some rather disturbing news about an international phone scam that's apparently making its way towards users in this part of the world.

Security experts at the Mariana Regional Fusion Center and local law enforcement are keeping a watchful eye over activity dealing with inbound calls from international numbers beginning in +881.

The bogus calls reportedly only ring once in an attempt to get you to call back, which then racks-up substantial connection fees.

It's a big nuisance, so to ensure the stability of you and your pocketbook, don't answer calls from any number you don't recognize, don't call +881 numbers back, and better yet, block those numbers.

You can also report any suspicious calls to MLRIN.org or your telecomm carrier.
