Probably 0%, I think their numbers are London ones but in any case, I think they would phone from a withheld number for this.Namdera said:Okay, so I get a phone call at 4.08pm.Number starts with 01267.Was in the middle of getting my daughter dressed after her swim lesson.

Hi Namdera, are you able to ring that 01267 number or even google the number to see any google search results for this number.2

I have googled it, it says that it’s possibly a scam number but if they use a number changer they could call from any number!Alex what number did they call you from? Did you win?2

Sorry, I didn’t keep the number … I seem to remember it starting 012 or 02. It definitely wasn’t withheld, otherwise I wouldn’t have answered it back then.Namdera said:I have googled it, it says that it’s possibly a scam number but if they use a number changer they could call from any number!Alex what number did they call you from?

Thanks Alex, I probably will never be lucky enough to get the call but I just assumed it would be from a no caller id number. Best to stay alert then and any call after a comp cut off time that requires a phrase first, I need to remember answer with phrase no matter who is ringing if I do not recognise the number as one of my saved contacts2

I’m really hoping it wasn’t them and I haven’t missed out on £50k.Congratulations on your win Alex was this recent?1

My first was before these had become so regular, the second was from a withheld number, but a different station & comp. … perhaps they’ve changed their MO & call from withheld now …Bridger12 said:Thanks Alex, I probably will never be lucky enough to get the call but I just assumed it would be from a no caller id number.
