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.:confused:

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.

    No, I didn't get the number as the phone rang again and it was someone to speak to me.If it happens again I'll try and get the number.
