My areacode is 248, the call was from the +24 country code, and was a scam caller. Had I answered it, the caller could have billed me at some outrageous amount of money ($20/minute for example). It literally looked JUST like a call from my area prefix, if it werent for the + at the front.
So just to show you what this looks like, I received another one today.

Notice the cleverly placed + in front of the number? Thats because its from COUNTRY CODE +248. (for reference, my phone number starts with 248-602-XXXX)
