It's pretty scary, I remember similar things happening in the UK! I think I would always just wait for someone to call again, especially if u know its a one ringer - but i can see how for parents etc. the worry that it might be someone trying to contact them, its tempting to return the call!

Quite a smart scam, sad nonetheless.

Meh, if i don't have the number in my phone book and you don't leave a msg, the call wasn't important enough for you, why should I waste my time returning it?

Great article except for all the effort to add a reference to LOTR.
