Is this a con?

Question

i received a phone call from a recorded message saying ive won a holiday (although i havent entered my name into anything) then it said press 1 for details and i just hung up thinking it was a con and it might charge my bill premium rates, this isnt the first time this has happened and last time i hung up too. has anyone else had these calls?

Answer 1

.They will not charge your account, but it Is a con,

Answer 2

They are all scams

Answer 3

It sounds like a time share to me. F-it.

Answer 4

Do as you did and DO NOT PRESS any digits as this will disconnect and reconnect the call via a premium rate number charging YOU ££££ per minute.

Simply hang up and sign up for TPS as this will stop (99% effective) some but not all cold calling etc.

Answer 5

Yes.  They are all scams.  You did the right thing in hanging up.  Well done.

Answer 6

most likely a con
