Phone Scam

Answered the phone yesterday and the voice on the other end kept going when I spoke.I realised it was a recorded message asking me to ring back to the number they gave to arrange delivery of a radio.
I have heard of scams where you ring and they use your number to clock up hugh bills.
I am not expecting a radio being delivered and genuine firms don't do that anyway.
This is just to warn anyone don't ring back its probably a scam.
