Scam call?
I got a missed call this morning at 6.20AM from 08717034536.
Now anyone who knows me knows not to call me at that time of the morning cos they get a mouthfull of abuse. I was about to call it back but something made me search it on google and i found a few reults for it...all pointing to it being a scam of some sort. Anyone else had this number call them...anyone call it back and find out what it was?

Re: Scam call?
Probably one of those ones that wants you to call back to charge you a huge amount in call-time.

Re: Scam call?
Dont call back.
If it is that important (and genuine) then they will call you back. If they dont then it obviously cant have been important Maria |

Re: Scam call?
Looking about it seems to manily be people on 02 network that get bothered with it, and they only seem to call between 23:00 and 7am. Probably to get you angry to call back and try to shout at them.

Re: Scam call?
recorded message ten times per day
'Hi my name is Sarah, do you..................' slam the phone down! If I was getting phone calls at ungodly hours of the day, they will hear a very nasty Dizz, but usually i am staring at the back of my eyelids

Re: Scam call?
i'm the same normally, if i dont recognise the number or its not listed in my phonebook i ignore it. But since i been job hunting who knows who'll call me.
That link wasd the one i found but most on there didnt know what it was about either so i thought i'd ask the Mighty Org.
