Beware of Ping Calls 💀
Vorsicht vor Ping-Call-Anrufen!

Ping Calls sind betrügerische Anrufe von kostenpflichtigen Telefonnummern zumeist aus dem Ausland.

Die Betrugs-Masche funktioniert folgendermaßen: Eine ausländische Mehrwertnummer ruft kurz am Handy an und lässt das Handy nur einmal läuten, damit man es in der Regel nicht schafft abzuheben.

Es erscheint dann diese unbekannte Nummer als verpasster Anruf und wenn man jetzt aus Neugier zurückrufen würde, gelangt man in eine kostenpflichtige Wartschleife, für die man für jede Sekunde etwas zahlen muss.

Die goldene Regel, um diese Betrugsfälle zu vermeiden, lautet, keine unbekannten Nummern zurückrufen oder vorher klären, wer oder was sich hinter einer Nummer verbirgt.

ps. Mein Vater hat vor Kurzem einen derartigen Anruf erhalten ist aber zum Glück nicht in die Falle getappt.

In Österreich gibt es die Möglichkeit, solche Fälle bei der RTR zu melden:

Hat schon mal jemand so einen Ping Call erhalten?

## English ##

*Ping calls are fake calls from premium rate telephone numbers mostly from abroad.*

*The scam works as follows: A foreign premium rate number makes a short call to your mobile phone and lets the phone ring only once, so you usually don't have enough time to pick it up.*

*This unknown number then appears as a missed call and if you were to call back out of curiosity, you would end up in a chargeable waiting loop for which you have to pay for every second.*

*The golden rule to avoid this kind of fraud is not to call back unknown numbers or to check in advance who or what is behind a number.*

*ps. My father recently received such a call but fortunately he didn't fall into the trap.*

*In Austria there is the possibility to report such cases to RTR regulator:*

*Have you ever received such a ping call?*

*Live your Secrets and Steem Prosper* 🔥
