Can someone put my mind at ease please ?

Last Thursday I’ve had to go earlier to work and had a missed call at 15:14 from a !01229 115277‬ number
I hadn’t entered the cash register on that day
It’s driving me crazy thinking it could have been the hits radio :(
Please help

    Most likely spam

    Hits radio would I think be 0161 (but more likely to be a witheld number)

    01299 is Bewdley in the West Midlands but google doesn't show it as a valid number so likely one of these many companies that somehow make their number look like a real uk number when it isnt

    even if you havn't entered on a certain day, if they don't get the correct answer they call it a rollover and you are entered into next day (lets free online enter again) but think text is carried over

    Thank you
    Thank you your responses
    I know about the rollovers, I thought someone had won the prize the day before
    Oh well I’ll just think it was one of those companies
    Thanks for posting everyone :money:

    I think cash register calls come from either "Private" or "Withheld" rather than an actual phone number, so I'm pretty sure you're safe!
  • Someone has won before and said it was withheld
