I have an acquaintance travelling in Nigeria and he rings frequently.  Sometimes the number comes up as 00111111 and recently the number came up as (08) 6464 1500.  He claims to be calling from his U.K. mobile phone all the time.  I think this must be some sort of network "scam" going on in Nigeria with routing calls through other numbers.If anyone has any other info., please post here.

I just got one, and it was my mate using a satelitte phone from a cruise ship.

yeh just got a call .. I said "hello?" twice and no answer .. then they cut the phone ..

I recieved a call from this number today 15th November 2008 a day after recieving the same type of calls from (02) 8986 9400 for 2 days atleast 3 times a day. Im on a prepaid mobile plan and I'm thinking whatever this scam is is somehow chewing into my credit. I'm interested in knowing more about the Nigerian Mate also!

yeah i just got a call from this number too and missed it but when i tried ringing back it says "check the number and try again"

I response to fred........ who has friend in Nigeria........ I have had this person, your friend call me on two of the numbers you listed.......... I want to know more about your friend
