Appeared on my alerting notification "pull down".

Who are they, is it safe, not sure what's going on?

Anyone else getting this?

As far as I'm concerned if I'm not expecting a call or don't know who they are from or don't recognise the number, then I'll listen to a message to see what it's about but I wont phone back to a missed call unless I recognise it. Likewise I wont phone back to a number given on a message unless I can verify that the number is legitimate.

It's pretty easy for a Scammer to leave a message requesting a call back to a number that isn't legitimate.

A few years ago I got a call, purporting to be from my bank with a number to phone back - I didn't phone back on the number that was given, but used a number I already knew (on my Bank Card) to verify whether the number was legit. It wasn't, and the bank had not called me,  so it was probably a scam.

Whatever you do never ever give out any personal, bank or credit card details over the phone unless you have initiated the call to a known and verified number, its too easy to be scammed if you aren't extremely careful.

It appears to be some sort of app on my tablet.

Now have 3 missed calls,   7 unread messages,  missed video call.

Don't even know how to read the  messages.

Anyone know anything about Live Street View?

You drag the notification bar (left part) down, then tap the notification.

Missed calls have to be in your calls log (calls app). [Removed by Forum Team] has to be in your contacts list, otherwise the name doesn't show up.

Don't know about video calls.

Thank youfor responding @MIKEJXE

How do  I do that when I don't know his/her/their number

If a name is displayed it should be in your contact list or it would be a number 

If it's not I would forget it it maybe a scam

You're wrong that a name has to be in your contact list for it to be displayed, I don't know quite how it works but I have plenty of calls in my call log from businesses with their name displayed but that aren't in my contact list. However, if the missed call is in the OP's log then I would expect it to include the number as well as the name (they'll probably need to click on the call in order to get to somewhere where the number is visible).

I'd agree with your second point that it could be a scam, and even of it isn't then if the person calling really wants to speak to the OP then they'll call again.

I don't know what Live Street View is because as I understand it Streetview is made up of recordings made by Google's cars so it's not "live" like you're looking at a webcam's view - unless there are some Google webcams in certain interesting places?

Thankyou @Murmansk

I've seen reviews and feed back etc that would date the recordings as older because of views showing previously owned cars on house drives etc.
