    Google shows "There aren't any great matches" for that number. I tried with and without the area code. So I think you are right, that this is a scam.

    Hope you win something lovely soon to make up for it.

    Been phoned a few times....the latest number 02036954060...saying I have won free entries into the lotto.....can I give them my bank details so the funds I might win can be transferred....I never give them my details...but they always say "You have entered a competition and your number has been shared" Never have these scammers when I had a break from comping :(
    I just keep blocking the numbers..but they come through on many different numbers....I always check the check boxes and NEVER sign up on anything that looks dubious :(
