Posted February 23, 200421 yr CTW Members I was sent this E:mail by a friend. QUOTE Dear all, We have been aware of the following mobile phone scam this morning, (thank you Terry), which reads as follows: There is a new kind of mobile phone scam. A missed call will show on your mobile phone. The number is 0709 020 3840! The last four numbers may vary, but the first four numbers will remain the same! If you call this number back, you will be charged £50.00 per minute. People have complained about their phone bills, once they have realised the cost of the call, but apparently this is completely legal. So beware, do not call back numbers beginning with 0709. Company Phone Users: Please do not to return any missed calls beginning with an 0709 prefix, as they will be liable for the cost of the call. Kind regards IT Department Dont know if its true or not but I thought I'd let you know.
