How to Avoid Getting Scammed by One Ring Scammers?
There are a few things that you can do to avoid getting trapped in such scams. Here are some suggestions for TechWelkin readers:

Do not pick any call that is coming from other countries where the phone number remains unrecognized.
Give special attention to calls coming from African and erstwhile USSR countries. I am giving a list of more suspicious countries below. Don’t take calls from these countries if the number is not saved in your phone book.
If you’re really expecting a call from these countries, it is better to first receive the phone number through WhatsApp or SMS or Email and save it in your phone book.
If you miss such a one ring scam call —do not call back.
If you’re unsure about the origin of call, you should look up for the country code in Google. The search will tell you the country of origin.
Use mobile apps like TrueCaller to identify unknown numbers. Do not pick an unidentified number unless TrueCaller gives you information.
Report all the suspicious calls to your phone operator.
You can use various call blocking apps to block a particular number. If the spammer is using different numbers, you can also block an entire country code.
