Wangiri is a sophisticated premium-rate scamming tactic employed by criminals from all over the world. The word Wangiri is a Japanese word meaning one cut. It translates to this scam method because the scammers ring once and then cut the call.
The reason they cut the call is that they want you to phone the number back. Anyone who does call back will be redirected to an International Premium Premium Rate Number (IPRN).
