Phone calls...

[JodieWodie]

HI

Got home from work today, 3 messages from the same number on my answer machine
All blank, nothing at all

About 10 minutes ago, we got another 2 calls, and when you pick up, it is just blank again, like no-one is there

The number is 0870 6060825
Do you think this is some kind of scam, like one of those 'call them back at a high charge thingies' ??

I did a Google on the number, but no joy


Cheers Jxx

its telly sales, if it goes blank and nobody says hello for about 4 to 5 seconds, this is because its an automated dial out service, until they spot that you have picked the phone up to plug you in so they can say hello My name is................from...............are you interested in blar de blar, and they wont talk to the machine

I've just called the number from the office here and it's British Gas - so I guess they aren't trying to scam you
