Warning 08432148675 Cheers International Sales Ltd

If the above number calls you, whatever you do, don’t call back as you will be charged anything upwards of £2! I had a missed call from this number and I thought I would google it before doing anything.
All numbers beginning with 0843214 are registered to a company called Cheers International Sales Limited, which sells numbers onto scamming companies. I hope no-one gets caught out by this, as when I googled the full 08432148675, no search results came up.

Calls to 0843 numbers are charged at 5p per muinute - you would need to make a 40 minute call to be charged £2.

This link shows that Cheers International Sales Limited are behind other scams though, which is why I would be cautious about ringing back 08432148675.

And 5p/min is only from a landline, it is much more from a mobile.

The last page of this thread shows that they are using 0843214 numbers now so beware.

I will be reporting them to Ofcom and Phonepayplus.
