Email forward claims to be a warning about premium rate phone scams that can result in victims being charged £20 or £50 per minute or £100 for fifteen minutes
Status:
False
Example:
Please could you make your users aware of this possible scam
Please be aware that this weekend one a colleague received a missed call from a telephone number starting 070467….. when called back it passes you through to a messaging service.
The mobile user checked with BT discovered it is a new scam to pass you through three numbers and it costs about £100 for fifteen minutes. Please warn other mobile users of this 0704 code coming up on their phones and not to answer it. If it comes up as a missed call, it should be deleted.
The message starts, the caller is forwarding you to their messaging service, it rings for a while then it says they are not at that number we will try another one for you and so on.
This has been sent to Customer Services by a customer, so I can not verify it but it is worth being aware of.
Kind Regards
