If you've noticed a missed call from a number you don't recognise (particularly international numbers), it is important that you don't call this number back and consider reporting this as a potential scam.
Phone companies are advising customers to reject these calls and if you have friends or family living overseas, it is recommended to have their numbers added as contacts in your mobile phone, so you can identify when they are calling you.

Some people with flu need to stay in hospital for a while. A few people die from flu.
Did you know that many people don’t know they have had the flu as they do not feel ill? But they can still pass it on and make other people very sick.
The best way to protect yourself, your family and people around you, is by having a flu shot every year. The flu shot helps your body protect itself from flu.
Ask your doctor or nurse, or check with your workplace, about a flu shot today.
