LOCAL cellphone users have been receiving calls from these numbers 006766869030, +6766869061 but the callers on the other end do not say anything.

This has led to a public outcry over these strange calls which have been hounding both Swazi Mobile and Swazi MTN subscribers. Both Swazi MTN and Swazi Mobile have cautioned their customers on these calls which have been identified as being spam.

“We note that some of our valued customers are receiving strange calls from unknown international numbers. Swazi MTN advises that you don’t receive/take or return them because they are spam calls. As an interim measure, an effort has been made to block these numbers while exploring a lasting solution to this challenge. Please do receive sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by these spam calls. Be vigilant. # BrightMoves# MTNCares,” Swazi MTN said on the company’s Facebook account.

Swazi Mobile issued a statement on the company’s social media page also alerting their customers on the strange number that was calling.

“It has come to our attention that some customers are receiving strange calls from 006766869030, +6766869061. It’s a spam number; and we are making means to block these unknown calls. We apologise for any inconvenience this might cause you. #WeWork,” the company said. Swazi Mobile described the spam calls as an on-going challenge. “This is a cyber-challenge and we are trying to block these numbers before they infiltrate mainstream”.

According to community.digi.com.’s security warning. “If you receive a missed call with numbers that begin with the code 0067 don't dare call it back, let alone pick it. This is an on-going Nigerian scam. They target those who are tempted to call these numbers back, and thereafter are capable of accessing some personal information they later use to swindle them monies from their back accounts.”
