Telemarketer

Be careful with this number. They are a telemarketing company selling health insurance HOWEVER, if you miss their call, they will send you a message pretending to be your mobile phone provider. The below example shows the misleading type of message. They are not from Vodafone and they should not be tricking people in to calling under false pretence. As it stands, I was waiting for a call from Vodafone so thought this may be it. From Vodafone: You missed 1 call(s) from +441242894807 on 17 Jun 09:51 To deactivate this service dial 121 and choose 'Mailbox Settings'
