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.

A large number of motorists are still using their mobile phones while driving, despite many safety messages and penalties for drivers surrounding their use.
This goes hand-in-hand with distractions, which can be anything that draws a driver's attention off the road.
"We're trying really hard to get the message across this year to keep your eyes and mind on the road at all times" says Dianna Harrison, road safety coordinator for Taupo District Council.
"Thirty per cent of all fatal crashes involve people failing to wear a seatbelt. There's no excuse for not taking two seconds to make it click."
Look out for road safety messages this week in local newspapers, on the radio and social media, while Taupo District Council staff at our Taupo customer service centre and library are wearing road safety week T-shirts to raise awareness.
And we don't have to rely on one week of the year to educate ourselves - resources are always available on-line from brake.org.nz.
Could anyone recommend a handy man who could put back together an original Kenwood Mixer. All parts are available and in good condition.
