I received a text message last night saying that they have a message awaiting my collection and that I should phone 08718723813 - is this some kind of scam - should I call?
Thanks
Thanks

Hi - checked that post and this is exactly the same - comes from the same number too - actually didn't realise that the call originated from Egypt!
Love these boards - you always get the help you need.

I had the same message earlier in week. As it clearly wasn't from vodafone, there couldn't possibly have been a message for me!
So hit the delete key!0
