Received a call or message from +228?
A call or text from +228 (or 00228) originates from Togo.
If you don't know anyone in Togo, be cautious. Common patterns with unfamiliar international numbers:
- One-ring scams (Wangiri): The caller rings once and hangs up, hoping you'll call back a premium-rate number. Don't return calls to numbers you don't recognize.
- SMS phishing: Messages claiming to be from banks, delivery services, or government agencies. Legitimate organizations won't contact you from a +228 number unless you have an account in Togo.
- Spoofed numbers: The caller ID can be faked. A call showing +228 may not actually originate from Togo.
If you do know someone in Togo and want to call them back, see the dialing instructions below.
