So guys, recently i've been receiving calls from +44 and +852 on a daily basis, simple google search shows that these are calls from UK and HK.
There is also a few times where this +44 number called, then I see, it begins with 044xxxxx. Then another same number will call, but this time with +44xxxxx. So I suspect they have some software that is able to add prefixes in front and act like the call is from another country.
Anyway I installed Truecaller free version, some of the +852 calls immediately show up as ScamHK lol. But this +44 one keep persist and call me almost everyday. I just continue to reject je. I even add the numbers to my block list, but some how another day, they will use another number and call. But the prefix is still +44. lol. So persistent sia the scammer.
That being said, do u guys pay for the Truecaller premium feature? Or are there any other decent scam call identifying app that you guys recommend?

Ever since using Truecaller, no more spammers or scammers.
Now only left property and outsource bank agent pests.
Every time they call, I will tag them as pests.
