in I won! I won! I won!
Anyone else had this happen?
I missed a call whilst in the shower this morning and when I called it back, I get some automated guy telling me he's trying to connect to my "contact" for me, then it tries for a second, then it comes back telling me its trying another location for my contact, then after the 3rd try, it says I can leave my name and number and they'll call back, but it just cuts out on me.. I've tried to call them a few times and I keep getting the same..

does this sound like a comp phonecall to anyone? I so hope so! :confused:

    Be cautious when calling ppl back though it may be a scam and if it were genuine I'd imagine they would have left details of what is is regarding!

    I've tried googling it, and I get nothing, which is annoying..

    and andy_hunk: I agree entirely. I've checked how much its been charging me to call, and its not one of those stupid rate numbers thankfully :) I'm going to try them again later and see if I can get through :)

    07822905340 mean anything to anyone?
    (sorry if I'm not allowed to post phone no's, I'll happily remove it if people want)

    indeed, it does worry me, but I've been entering a fair few comps with the number its calling recently and it's possibly one of those..? *clutching at straws possibly* and I won something the other day - it could be a confirmation phone call..? :confused:

    I hate not knowing :(

    I would be very suspicious - I've had a look at 07822 numbers and it is something to do with free international calls!?!

    Or the person you call earns up tp 2p per minute on weekdays?!?

    all sounds dodgy!
    ;)
