Call this number scam.

Fred

I have just noticed a scammer post. That was claiming to be facebook, but the number is used for a bunch of different scam claims.


The idea is they either single ring you so you get a missed call alert, or they try to con you into calling them.


Either way, the changes to call their number is crazy.


I wouldn't normally bother to mention it, but one attempt to post is commonly followed by their spam center trying another few hundred times.

They are likely bots so ignore any that get through
