Have you been phone scammed???

Question

i just wanted to ask this question and also to make people aware of it ... i just got a call to my house phone from 07036547298 and a very well spoken man said "hello, hello can you hear me"? i said "i can yes" then the line went crackly and cut off... being rather synical i immediately suspected it was a scam call, where they hope i will ring the number back and be charged an arm and a leg for the privilage!!! I thought that if it was genuine they would ring back... they haven't...it was probably a recorded message anyway... well i feel as though i have sort of got one over on them by not falling for it.

Has this ever happened to you?

let people know about it so that they don't get scammed too.

Seems that you're not the only one!

0703 numbers are classed as "personal number services" and can cost you an arm and a leg if you call them back.

Well done on not not calling back, saves your hard earned money from lining their pockets!
