New 070 Scam targeting mobile

credit-card-tart

There is a new 070 scam which is targeting mobiles.

Your phone will ring for one ring, and then hang up. The number shown as a missed call starts with 070. However if you return the call the calls are charged either as a 50p fixed fee connection charge, or as 50p per minute.

Please note these charges are based on BT charges when using a BT landline. The costs when using your mobile could be much higher.

Sorry no, but my mobile rings on average once per day, and they are always from 070 numbers, and all hang-up within 1 ring. This can't be a coincidence !!!

I had a call like this on my mobile the other evening. It rang about 2 or 3 times, then the person hung up. When I checked the number it was 090*** number.

Needless to say I did NOT phone back, and they have not bothered me since then

:mad: :mad:
