[kictanet] Global 'missed call' scam

Hi I got a missed call from +423662691883 at 7:04am this morning. Being the paranoid Kenyan ;-) that I am, I first Googled for the country code and the result was "Liechtenstein". One of those coutries the skip on the map. I also learnt that the number has been used for a 'missed call' scam where you'd lose airtime and more. 1. Are our networks protecting consumers from such 'known threats'? 2. How does the scam work?
