Real scam examples

One-ring callback scam

Number rings once from an international prefix. Calling back connects to a premium-rate line that bills by the minute.

Spoofed local area code

Call shows up from your own city, sounds like a courier asking for a re-delivery fee. Real couriers never text you to pay fees via call.
