Why did Bolivia call at 5am?

[NannaNoodleman]

My phone is on Do Not Disturb until my alarm at 6:30am. Had a missed call notification from a Bolivian number. Seems a bit long distance for a scam and a bit early for a cold caller.

So, why would Bolivia try to call at 5am?

You lot are Caracas!

Well when in Acapulco.....

They called me too! So odd

Was it Paddington bear? Maybe he's been kidnapped!!! You must ring back.

Paddington is from Peru, maybe he had a heavy night and ended up on a bus to Bolivia and woke up in a dodgy hotel room and needs help

He's probably distraught because they have no marmalade on the breakfast trolley.

Bolivia's next door to Peru though (I think?). My Curry might have him and if you don't ring back Mr Brown might kill him so that the horrible museum woman can have him as an exhibit.
He'll be asking for ransom money - we could club together. Are you actually Mrs Brown?

I had a missed call from Bolivia this afternoon too

Bolivia's been busy with the phone book today!

Me too at 6.30! From number +59171137129? It went me in a panic as DP is away on a stag do, and I didn't see Bolivia at first, just a random overseas number. Immediately thought he was in hospital.

I imagine toddlers in Bolivia play with phones just as much as they do in the UK - may well have been simply that.

Oh now I have seen a number of people have had missed calls from Bolivia it is probably a scam!!!

DH had a call from Bolivia at 4.30am!
Sadly he forgot to silence his phone so we were all awake

‭+591 (7) 113-7124‬

Very similar number so it sounds like the same scam.

How have they got our numbers? I keep my number private.

Now, a stag do that accidentally ends up in Bolivia would make a fairly mediocre but entertaining movie. Full of stereotypes and hilarious Spanish accents.

OMG! My beloved son (23) is at the moment backpacking in South America and is currently in Bolivia (genuinely) - heading towards the Peruvian border and Paddington Bear country. I can't believe he's rang all you guys when I've only had 1 phone call in 2 months! Shocking!
I understand Bolivia is 6 hours behind us, so obviously they are calling late night Bolivian time.

It's a spoof call saying there's something wrong with your internet. They "fake" the numbers

I've had Poland, Switzerland, Tanzania and Sierra Leone in recent times.
I'll be expecting Bolivia shortly so.

Call the number back and ask them what they wanted?

That’s a good idea

I had this call last night too! Or early hours. Woke me up.
Number was ‭+591 (7) 113-4137‬

I'm quite disappointed that I haven't had a call from Bolivia. I feel a bit left out.

I still think it's Paddington and as no one else seems too worried I'm going to go over there, he might be in perilous danger.

It will also give me an opportunity to wear my duffle coat. Wish me buen viaje.

I Seem to be waiting up for my call - could do with an unexpected inheritance/magical beauty treatments/surefire online security etc

Don’t forget your hat rabbit

I had Monaco yesterday. Prince Albert I expect. 😂

I get loads of these for a few days, then none for ages, then they start again. I always block & report them as scam or fraud calls, it's the only way that the phone companies get the chance to do anything about them.
