I've also included 'miss-pelt' numbers.
most of them from the descriptions appear to be 'missed call' scams where they ring twice and hang up and hope the 'customer' calls back.
I wonder how much O2 and the other Networks are making from this0 -
That doesn't really help as the OP says they received a call and there is no charge to receive the call. (I admit the circumstances are a little muddled)
It would help if the OP could clarify whether this number is listed in the incoming or outgoing section of their unbilled usage, the length of the call and the cost of the call.
Also what the call log on the phone has registered.0 -

As per Police warnings here ...
http://www.northumbria.police.uk/advice_and_information/crime_prevention/Home_Security/property/mobile_phone_scams/A new scam involves users receiving a telephone call from a person purporting to be a company engineer, or telling you that he/she is checking the telephone line. They will then ask you to press certain numbers or codes.
END THIS CALL IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT PRESSING ANY NUMBERS
Once you press any digits, scammers can access your 'SIM' card and make calls at your expense.It's not just about the money0 -

i recieved the call, on my phone it shows the call is incoming however i spoke to o2 today and they think i have rang the number.
when the phone rang i answered it and then immediately put it down because no one answered, i thought it was just another cold call
the number is 0843410233955, i cannot find this number anywhere on the internet and the call was 2:24:10 long.
to readdress i did not make the call, i do not know the number - i wasnt aware you could have numbers longer than 11 digits long and on my phone it shows as an incoming call. I am as peeved as any of you because im annoyed that there is no simple answers for this
I have rang 02 they have put claim in to see whether i have to pay it
thankyou to anyone who can shed light on this0 -
Have you tried calling the number from a landline?
0843 and 0844
How much do calls cost?
Calls are charged between 1p and 13p per
minute for landline customers. Calls from mobile phones are typically
charged between 15p and 41p per minute, depending on the provider and the number called.Never ASSUME anything its makes a>>> A55 of U & ME <<<0 -

Could you answer the questions above, it would make it so much easier to advise you.
When you look at your usage online, does it show as a call made or received? ( I'm guessing it shows as dialed)
What does your phone's call log say? ( v important)
How long was the call? ( Two minutes, 24.1 seconds or two hours twenty four minutes ten seconds)0 -

The police have a history of publicising fake scams. Looks like they've fallen for another one. :rotfl:0
