If you've noticed a missed call from a number you don't recognise (particularly international numbers), it is important that you don't call this number back and consider reporting this as a potential scam.

Phone companies are advising customers to reject these calls and if you have friends or family living overseas, it is recommended to have their numbers added as contacts in your mobile phone, so you can identify when they are calling you.

- Check out these tips from Netsafe for how to help protect yourself from scams.
- Read about the different types of scams you could be caught out by including wangiri (one ring) and 'technical support' scams
- Find out how to report a phone scam here.

I did not write down the address as I had not tasted the tap water or had any issues with it at the time. I strongly regret my oversight now as the present tap water is having very perceptible ill effects on my health. Could the person who posted that message or anyone who remembers the contents, be so kind as to repeat the address. I do not know how to go back far enough to look for the messages on this site. Thank you for your help. May we all soon have drinkable water without any added chemicals! Cheers. Juanita.
