Hi guys,
I have a call from this number today which I missed as I've just woken up after a night shift.
I've googled the number and a lot of people are saying its potentially a scam and that a recorded message says you have won either £500 of vouchers or an ipad.
Obviously with entering competitions on here I'm hoping to find out the legitimacy of the number in case I have won something that I entered.
Has anyone else had a call from this number and what was the outcome?
Paul

Had a call from it too. Asked me to press a number to call them back. I put the phone down. I have no doubt that this is a scam and pressing that button would have transferred me to a premium rate call number!2013 - 86 | 2014 - 127 | 2015 - 39 | 2016 - 22 | 2017 - 10 | 2018 - 56 | 2019 - 16 | 2020 - 4 | 2021 - 5 | 2022 - 1 win0

Yep - the fact that it's a 'recorded' voicemail shouts 'scam' - genuine WTCs would never (to my knowledge) be made using a recorded voice to inform of a win
My hubby got one of these types of calls from an 0203 number (may or may not be the same number as given by OP) - the voicemail only gives a few seconds for a response time in the hope (I presume) that people will react on impulse and then they can start draining your mobile credit etc :eek: :mad:=^._.^= You will always be lucky if you know how to make friends with strange cats =^._.^=0 -
Yep, same "Win" but number was 02079462036Worse things will have happened in the world today..."The only thing that really matters, it to love and to be loved."0
