A nationwide phone scam from Sierra Leone hits several people in East Tennessee, and one Lawrence County woman reported to us she received a call today.

The scam is called "One Ring" scam that aims to have you call the international number back, resulting in high phone charges.

Do not call this number back Instead, authorities recommend to simply block these numbers instead.

One Lawrence County woman reported to Lawrenceburg Now that she received 2 phone calls today at 12:36 p.m. and 12:37 p.m.  The first call she received showed Sierra Leone on her caller Id, but the 2nd call with the same number didnt.

Luckily for this local woman she did not answer or call the number back.
