<\/span>Country Code 62 Scam Calls \u2013 Should You Worry?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nSnippet Answer<\/b>: Scam calls using country code <\/span>+62<\/b> often come from fraudsters posing as international callers. Always verify before responding.<\/span><\/p>\nHere\u2019s the deal \u2014 not every +62 call is safe. Many are legitimate, but scammers do use Indonesian numbers to trick people. The classic move?

- WhatsApp messages asking for sensitive info.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
