1 | Caribbean Numbers Involved in Telephone Phishing Scam | Tafiditra Amin'ny Fisolokiana An-telefonina ny Laharana Avy Any Karaiba |
2 | If you see a missed call originating in the Caribbean from someone you don't know, it is likely that you have been targeted by perpetrators of the ‘one-ring phone scam'. | Raha mahita antso tsy voaray avy any Karaiba ianao avy amin'olona tsy fantatrao, dia azo heverina fa lasibatry ny ‘mpisolokin'ny telefonina indray maneno' ianao. |
3 | While the numbers used in these phishing activities can originate anywhere in the world, Slate reports that Caribbean numbers have been noticed with alarming frequency over the past few weeks: | Raha mety miainga avy amin'ny faritra rehetra manerana izao tontolo izao ireny asam-panjonoam-bolan'olona izany, dia notaterin'ny Slate fa voamarika ho nihabetsaka mahatonga fanairana ny laharan-telefonina avy any Karaiba tao anatin'ny herinandro vitsivitsy izay: |
4 | The Better Business Bureau lists calls from Antigua and Barbuda (268), the Dominican Republic (809), Jamaica (876), the British Virgin Islands (284), and Grenada (473) as potential scam threats. | Nampidirin'ny Biraon'ny Better Business ao anatin'ny lisitry ny mety hiavian'ny fisolokiana ny antso avy any Antigua sy Barbuda (268), Repoblika Dominikana (809), Jamaika (876), Ny Vondro-Nosy Virijiny Britanika (284), ary Grenada (473). |
5 | People who do call back could be charged something like $30 for the international call, depending on the carrier, and see fraudulent service fees showing up on their phone bills. | Mety mandoa ny antso iraisampirenena $30 izay olona miantso ilay laharana ni-bip, araka ny asany io, ary mety hahita ilay saran-tsoloky rehefa avy ny fotoana andraisan-dry zareo ny faktioran'ny telefonina. |
6 | This process of ‘cramming,' when third-party scammers sneak bogus charges onto legitimate phone bills, is ever on the rise, according to the Federal Trade Commission and Federal Communications Commission. | Avo hatrany izany paikan'ny «fidarohana» izany dia rehefa mampiditra fiampangana lainga amin'ny faktioran-telefonin'olona ireo mpisoloky, hoy ny Vaomieran'ny Varotra Federaly sy ny Vaomieran'ny Fifandraisana Federaly. |
7 | Affected persons around the world took to Twitter to report the issue: | Nandray ny Twitter ireo olona tratrany hitatitra ny raharaha (olana): |
8 | Gona go out on a limb here and assume that the missed call I just got from Antigua/Barbuda is not a close friend of mine. If so, sorry. | Tonga eo amin'ny toerana sarotra ary nandray andraikitra fa tsy avy amin'ny namako akaiky ilay antso tsy nahazo ahy avy any Antigua/Barbuda. |

10 | Got a missed call today from Jamaica. | Nahazo antso avy any Jamaika androany. |
11 | Definitely a first. | Sambany mihitsy. |
12 | A puzzling, puzzling first. | Mampiasa saina, mampiasa saina aloha. |
13 | - Casey Morell (@csymrl) December 14, 2013 Occurrences of these calls have also been reported in Trinidad and Tobago on Facebook. | Toa tazatazamaso any Trinite sy Tobago, hita amin'ny Facebook, ihany koa ny karazana antso tahaka izany. |
14 | Shelley-anne L Thompson weighed in on the discussion: | Nanome vesatra tao anatin'ny adihevitra i Shelley-anne L Thompson: |
15 | I get that like once a month and have never called. come on, people you know this scam! dont let your curiosity trap you. | Mahazo indray isam-bolana aho fa tsy miantso mihitsy. Aoka re, fantatrao io rey olona fa soloky! aza avela hamandrika anao ny fitia te-hahalala. |
16 | Maisha Hyman had this to say: | Maisha Hyman nanana izao holazaina: |
17 | I'm glad to see this! | Faly aho mahita an'ity! |
18 | I've recently had hang up calls from Antigua and Grenada! | Vao nahatratra antso niainga avy any Antigua sy Grenada! |
19 | Like wtf?! | Te-hahafantatra dia ahoana?! |
20 | Others were more concerned about the impact of the scam on the region. | Ny hafa miahiahy kokoa amin'ny fiantraikan'ny fisolokiana ao amin'ny faritra. |
21 | Michael Nahous of Trinidad and Tobago was not amused: | Tsy misangisangy i Michael Nahous avy any Trinite sy Tobago: |
22 | How can they charge you $30.00 without some contract arrangement with the telephone carrier….its only digicel, cable wireless and the local telephone companies in these islands…if they know its a scam why cant they just disconnect the number. | Ahoana ny ahafahan-dry zareo mampandoa vola anao $30 raha tsy misy fifanarahana avy amin'ny mpiasan'ny telefonina… digicel, onjam-pifandraisana amin'ny fantsona ary orinasan-telefonina amin'ireo nosy ireo ihany io… Raha fantatry ry zareo fa fisolokiana io nahoana no tsy ahanton-dry zareo ny laharana? |
23 | People affected by the scam are being urged to alert their service providers if they spot any unusual charges on their phone bills. | Ampirisihana hanaitra ny mpanome tolotra an-dry zareo ny olona tratran'ny fisolokiana raha mahita sara tsy mahazatra ao amin'ny faktioran'ny telefoniny. |
