possible scam calld

High 5 everyone,

I have a date stamped sms saying that I missed a call from this number 07979866822
Might anyone recognize it please?
30 minutes before this aledged call I spoke to one of my friends very briefly with the same phone that for the rest of the evening was on a table in front of me, and did not hear the phone ring
No dog here, only have a bath/ shower on my Birthday in August

Many thanks

    If you don't know the number it can't be very important 

    Wait till it calls again but don't give your name or answer yes

    Or it could just be a wrong number.

    I normally google any numbers I don't recognise - that tells me if it is someone genuinely trying to get hold of me (e.g. a restaurant confirming a booking) or a scammer.

    I've had 2 recently, the first since I had the phone 5 yrs ago.
    So careful who I give my number to even in a small community.
    One entirely asian language which I hoped was a mistake. The second the old UPS your parcel is waiting.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well
