Reading a +40 number

•Mobile if the digits after +40 start with 60, 62–63 or 7 (+40 71X XXX XXX).
•Landlines start with an area code, for example +40 21 XXX XXXX for Bucharest and Ilfov County.
•Premium rate if it starts with 90 after +40: never call these back.
•Local time: 11:52 PM in Bucharest right now, an unusual hour for a genuine call.

•Don't call back a number you don't recognize. One-ring scams hang up after a ring or two so you return the call, which can add a per-minute charge on top of an international rate.
•Caller ID can be faked. The code shown is not proof of where the caller really is.
•Real callers leave a message. If it matters, they'll text, email or leave a voicemail. Otherwise, block the number.
