Hi, I'm a new member, so I hope I'm doing this right!  I have just received an 'urgent voicemail' through  my BT landline which asked me to phone  0870 0112828 quoting CCM.  I phoned this no. as the message said it was 'urgent', and was kept holding on, so gave up. as I didn't want to pay for possibly an unwanted call from a co. trying to sell me something.  But.. at the back of my mind, as the message said it was 'urgent' I am thinking I should make this call in case it really is something genuine.  Any suggestions?

Yes !!  It looks like you've been suckered by a Sales Scam !  :-/

It's all down to -

• Who do you know that would leave you an urgent message & an 0870 to call back on ?
• What reason would they have for keeping you on hold ?
• Why didn't they leave me a message saying what was so urgent ?

If you can't answer any of those then guess what ? It wasn't URGENT to you. It was them getting you to panic & call them to make them some money.

Look through the forum for other instances of this scam, but NOT this number as I can't find any record of it anywhere or the CCM you mention. We have had Debt Collection agencies resorting to this to get information about you, so be careful what you confirm with a caller you don't know.

I suggest that you forget it. If it's that urgent they will call you back & you'll see I'm right (it wasn't urgent).
Just be glad you didn't stay on hold for too long & you won't get suckered by this scam again, will you ??  ::)
