Consumer Alert: The Regulatory Commission of Alaska warns of a “One Ring” phone scam being reported in Alaska, Oregon and Western Washington.  Automated dialers conduct thousands of random calls to mobile numbers taken from public listings but disconnect after one ring. The scammers count on a return call from the consumer who is then directed to expensive international hotlines that can charge upwards of $19.95 to connect plus additional costs per minute.
