Default 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?

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

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

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.

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

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.
