Got this in one of 438 missed work mails while I've been gone and just thought it may be of interest to anyone who has a BT Cellnet mobile.

 

It has come to light that a new mobile scam is being operated at the

moment. The user will receive a text message stating "Please call me on

09011500065 Urgent" and will say it has been sent by KB. When the user

rings the number all they will hear is an engaged tone. However this is

not a real engaged tone but a recording of the tone which is charged at £5

pounds per minute. The caller will ring again and again , mounting up a

sizable bill.

CheerZ Ajay,

 

I've got one, pile of shite anyway, but will keep an eye out for that little number!

I've had this sent to me as well from a friend, but from a different source in BTCELLNET, this one says that all networks are affected, not just BTCELLNET.

It's an old trick and is not unique to mobiles. Treat those messages the same way as you do junk email. Anyway if it's really important they would have left a real name and would call back eventually. Good tip is to keep all your known numbers in the phone memory (better still the SIM) then it will always display the names, rather than just the numbers when people ring/text etc. Well on most phones anyway ...
