8668603852 Telephone Calls - is it a Scam?

I keep getting calls from 8668603852. The callers do not leave a voicemail and caller ID is unavailable for the telephone number. After researching 866 telephone numbers like 866-860-3852, I found out it is a scam. A number of people in recent months have been victimized by a new scam that tricks potential victims into thinking they are calling a toll-free number, but ends up being an international call that charges them costly fees, which are pocketed by the scammer.

How the 866 Scam Work

Since toll-free numbers now begin with the prefix 866, many people are led to believe that the number is also toll-free, without realizing that the call actually dials to another country. Furthermore, since there is no international code in front of the number, no one knows they’re calling outside of the country. This is why the callers do not leave a voicemail because they want you to call them back at an international number that you will be charged for.
