How do you find out who a missed call is from?
- If your home phone has caller ID, it will have a log of recent calls.
- If you do not have caller ID, dial *69 to find out where your most recent call came from.
- If you have only a number, and not a name, for your missed call, use an online reverse look-up service such as whitepages.com to get the name.
Why am I getting missed international calls?
It’s called the One Ring Scam. The scammer will hire an international premium rate number (IPRN) from a local phone company. After this, the scammer will give you a call (one ring) and then disconnect. The natural response is the thought that you’ve missed something important, prompting you to call back.
Should you call back a missed call from an unknown number?
If you get a missed call from a number you don’t know, or a blocked number, it probably isn’t important. Don’t call back! If they do leave a message, or the number that called is an 800 (toll-free) number, go ahead and call them back.
Why am I getting missed calls from my own number?
If you’ve received a missed call from your own number recently, it’s not from your future self (as cool as that would be). The more plausible explanation is that a spammer is “spoofing” your exact digits in order to steal valuable info or even major bucks.

Can I be scammed by answering my phone?
If you answer the call, your number is considered ‘good’ by the scammers, even if you don’t necessarily fall for the scam. They will try again because they know someone on the other side is a potential victim of fraud. The less you answer, the fewer robocalls you will receive.
