The Federal Communications Commission is warning people in Giles County and surrounding areas about a potential scam linked to phone numbers with a 222 country code.

According to FCC, the one ring scam robocalls happen when someone receives a call but the caller hangs up after a couple of rings. They might call repeatedly, with the hope that the recipient calls the number back.

According to reports in the Pulaski area, calls are being made during the night hours after the person has gone to bed.

The FCC warns that you should not call the number back, as it dials a number that results in per minute charges.
