Title: Phone scam
Post by: Dave Willis on September 04, 2014, 07:31:16 pm

Anyone had this? Phone rings twice then stops. I googled the number (08438930079) apparently the idea is you call it back and get charged £6 straight away.  :o Premium rate number.

Hmmm

0843 call charges above are to the nearest penny on the most recent consumer tariffs, as at April 2014. Older tariffs may vary. Some 0843 numbers are charged per call, rather than per minute, and extra call set-up costs may be charged. Please confirm with your phone company before calling.

Why don't you ring it, wait for your phone bill to see what you get charged and report back ;D
