Hi everyone, I am selling a car in France and put an add on a British/French site. Had a funny response fron an American who wants me to ring UK 08712845598. Is there any way to find out who this is?
I am sure it is a scam so will not ring!

It's a special services higher rate
Yes it probably is a scam0 -
Think yourself lucky he didn't give you an 070 number (which you might have thought was a UK mobile). Rather than a probable 10p/minute on the 0871 number, that would have caught you for 50p/minute.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0
