[Resolved]  Airtel — Got a call from a number starting with +9233

Address:Mumbai City, Maharashtra

My father got missed call from this number [protected]. He called back and a person said he is calling from airtel and our number has been selected for some lottery by KBC stating that we have won 25 lakhs, he asked us to switch off the cell and remove the sim and check some number on the sim card. I took the call from my father and checked the number and understood its not indian number since it was not +91. I checked the number and got to know its from pakistan. Found many similar post on internet. How can this be stopped??

I read another article where it says that number cloning can be done by
such people if we switch off our number. Here's the article: http://tech.firstpost.com/news-analysis/do-not-respond-to-calls-from-numbers-sta...
