hi everybody,
My name is Clhoe and im from Australia.
In the past few months I've been getting calls from unlisted numbers. Normally I would use one of those apps (like truecaller and such) to check for the number, but the calls are to my landline...
Does anyone know of any websites or online databases that would hold Indonesian phone numbers?

Thanx

I used to get loads of these on my mobile, but mostly SMS scams.

The majority have been invitation to give money to crooks, so leave them hanging on the phone, go make a cup of tea, then watch some TV until their phone bill looks like a telephone number.

I have those too... I think they are telemarketers... Funny thing is when they call and I answer, the moment I ask them if they speak any english, they drop the call...
Just Ignore them.
