number is bad
Avoid costly ping calls from Mauritania!
Summary — +222
Expert Opinion
Watch out for calls from the +222 prefix – they are almost always silent ping calls that let the line ring for a few seconds before hanging up. The aim is to trick you into dialing back, which can trigger a premium‑rate charge. Never return the call, even if you think it might be a relative abroad; legitimate contacts will leave a voicemail. Block the number in your handset and report it to the national communications regulator, as they can add the prefix to a blacklist. Use call‑screening apps, enable do‑not‑disturb for unknown callers, and educate household members about the scam.
