Missed calls from 0871 310 5191 - probably a scam?
Oct 31st, 2006 at 2:46pm
 
Hi, I just saw a missed call on my mobile from the above number.  It had a very short ringing time (less than 1 second).  When I called back, there was a recorded announcement, in a very slowed-down voice, saying that I had won some competition.

As I have not entered any competitions recently I am pretty sure this is a scam.  ICSTIS lists the number as coming from Your Communications Ltd. but there is no further info.

I suspect that they are probably just trawling random mobile numbers, in the knowledge that punters will probably call them back.

This has scam written all over it!

By ringing back you have cost yourself a packet and made the scammer some money. It's because people ring these missed call scam numbers back that they exist, so please don't do it again !
