The phone number is rated as DANGEROUS on many search sites. Edited February 19, 2020 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Been getting theses calls for two weeks now, we are getting around 6 or 7 a day, put the answer machine on now and they hang-up when they hear the recorded message, like TIGHTCHOKE said, when you press 1 you could be transferred to a premium rate number and you will only find out when you get your bill. Doing a 1471 to get the number we have found that the number is different every time they call. Not had Simon or Sarah from Microsoft security call for a while, I used to love winding them up but the wife as told me to stop it because she thinks all these calls are my fault for winding them up.

VicW Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 My wife has had a lot of dealings with her doctor and hospital in recent weeks and both use withheld numbers when they call. We pointed out to them that a lot of people will not answer withheld numbers and a lot of modern phones can be set to block withheld numbers. They both replied that if they make their numbers accessible they get a lot of calls from people trying to jump the queue for appointments etc. You can't win. Vic.

DoolinDalton Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 I've received 3 texts apparently from EE (which I have a mobile account with) which said the following. EE: we were unable to process your latest bill. In order to avoid fees, update your payment information via .(the https address with a 318 in it). I typed it out earlier but as soon as I put a full stop at the end, a warning message came up. What alerted me to this scam initially was 1) Not personally 'addressed' to me. 2) I got 3 texts in 3 minutes. 3) Three different mobile numbers). The numbers all had 44 at the beginning, which is the UK dialling code. Please be aware, folks....there's some lowlife scum trying to rob you!
