Thank-you for confirming my thoughts of this being a scam number.I am pleased to report I did not answer and did not return call however, Someone must own this number,registered to a company or individual,therefore there must be a trail. I am now on that trail and hopefully shall see where it leads. In the meantime if you are the sort of person that gives a thought to the vulnerable people who may fall for this scam,then can I suggest two actions by you that may help others, 1) Contact your local radio news team(s) and notify them of this scam warning others 2) Contact your local newspapers. Over 4000 hits online for this number to date,they have a duty to report this to the wider public who cannot get online to check it out.
Same m.o. Spam - but where did they get my number?

Rang once and hung up-looked online seems to be a spam call so didn't bother calling back. If they want to talk that badly they'll call again and let me answer!!
