Author 07094600121 scam message or missed call
Andy

2005-09-27, 5:49 pm

Just had a call to my O2 number from the number in the subject. I answered,
I get a tone then,

"Oh hi there it's Nicky [or Nicki or Nikki], Umm I've been given your number
and was just wonderering if you fancied a chat. If you do, give me a call on
07094600121, erm don't worry it's not one of those premium rate calls. to
hear that number again press 1"

For Google search:
message or missed call from 0709 460 0121
message or missed call from 07094 600121
message or missed call from 07094600121

It's obviously a scam, 070 numbers are charged at a higher rate than
normal., but I'm having trouble finding out how much the charge is from a
mobile and landline.

Don't get caught, she sounds fairly convincing. I've got a heavy object
resting on my 1 key, se's been on a loop for 50 minutes, I wonder what rate
they're paying to call me and loop their message?

50p per minute from BT line, if I dared return their call.

"Hi, welcome to Club Exchange...". Only cost me about 10p because I
hung up after a few seconds.

Normal mobile rates, if they go through something like Telediscount
only 10p per minute.

Thanks.

Kept them going for 90 minutes (lost signal when I picked up the handset to
go charge the battery), so I'm sure it cost them a few pounds to have called
:-)

I still think it's underhand "don't worry it's not one of those premium rate
calls" and it be a flat 50p per minute. Many people here are up in arms
about 0870 missed calls, never mind pn2 rated 090946!
