If you see a missed call from any of these numbers, don't call back

Scam alert.

A lot of people reported missed calls overnight from 'Ascension Island' - the phone would ring once and then stop.

Well, don't call it back. It's a premium rate number and you'll pay through the nose if you get connected.

Why am I getting calls from Ascension Island? Seems I'm not the only one either. A scam, presumably.
