Rang once and hung up. I rang back stupidly. Its a competition line.
8am this morning my phone rang once then caller hung up as with all the other callers.
I also had missed call from this number.
Saw a missed call and googled number. Glad I didnt ring back.
Same again 1 ring,didn't call back
Happened to me this morning... Please note all that you cannot be charged a premium rate on a 08 number, the maximum charge is like 40p a min that goes to the network operator for connection, however if it was 09 then yes you could.. This type of scam is a phishing scam, they make multiple millions of calls every day from a list they buy, leave the call and they just forget about you, ring it back they will then sell your number to other scammers, the reason they use the "competition" is so that they can get more details, they already have your phone number to sell, so why not sell your address too... Believe me I know what I'm talking about. I cannot tell you how I know but I do. No I didn't work for them
Same for me. I won't be calling back - but I have dialled 1477 to rrport it as malicious!
This number has literally just rung me now (Sunday 24th May 13:31) Looking at the comments above, I am glad I didn't answer it. By the way top tip, if you are on android, select the number in call logs, dont click on it just hold it until some options come up, and add it to the restricted list, that way they cant ring back.
None
1 ring then hung up. Premium rate number. A breach of my human rights. Will target to hack.
One ring and hung up at 08:27
Phone vibrated for one second and that was it. Pretty much the same as what happened with everyone else.
One ring then disconnected.
