Missed call

My DD has had a missed call earlier today, I only put her number on comps for under 16's & always tick/untick boxes for no more contact etc. When I've searched the number - 02077920405 - it's come up with a fax number for here http://www.hotfroguk.co.uk/Companies/Bad-Moon-Publicity anyone any idea :confused: ? Should I phone them back :confused: ? Anyone know if it is comp related?

  • Haven't entered that so not sure, the ONLY mychild comps I have entered I gave my details not my 8 year old's so why are they phoning her number? Her phone has been taken off her for now anyway so luckily she didn't answer if that's who it was!

    I got a call today from an 0207 number from a very narky woman trying to palm off some DVD thing on me and when I told her the child in question was too young she said "What, you mean you DON'T have a child between 3 and 13" like I had broken some cardinal sin!
    If it is the same company its probably best you didn't get the call because the one I spoke to was foul :mad:
