Dodgy Phone Call

[Debz]

Hey Guys,

Just got a very odd call on me mobily.

it was a withheld number, and a recorded message said "congratulations, you have been specially selected " bla bla bla.....as a winner ... " please wait 3 seconds...."

So I hung up.

how dodgy :arrgg-matey:

Anyone heard of anything like this going around?

Does is sound suspect or just some annoying scam from people who have nothing better to do

probably a joke call... a friend playing a prank and listening in on your call.

[Debz]

Nah, wasnt that.

I'v had them on both mobile and landline.

According to them i'v won holidays to keep me going all year.

ok.. I have had these myself as well.. some are jokes and some are timeshares.

What they probably do is have a recording to say you have won a holiday.. now if you hold on the phone then they have a lead.

if you put the phone down then they do not waste time.

So.. all in all they have peoples interest.

Just hang up and think nothing of it. ******s. Phone calls like that are just annoying :ffs:

[ricomr2]

Yep, ive had a few of them too saying the same thing.

I just hang up,

For all you know they could be charging you for the call

Yeah definately sounds like a scam - I keep getting texts saying I have won stuff and to call a premium rate number but I delete em as soon as I have read them - they are so annoying.

I get this ALL the time !!!

I have 4 phones in the house and they are all wireless. We never have them where they should be tho. The phone goes and I'm running all around the house looking for one. Finally get the phone and it's a stupid recorded message !!

FFS !!!!

Making me run about for nothing!

I put them in a queue, so it cost them a lot of mioney

I had a funny call the other day some guy with a very strong african accent rang me from a 0207 number (london) enquiring about a car and said he is in Cardiff and would it be ok for his nephew who is in London to come and buy it... so i'm like OK... then he says 'how would you accept payment' so i'm like 'cash only' and he says some bull about his wife being preggers and cant get the cash and would a bankersdraft do and i'm like 'No.... cash'

and then he hangs up...!!

something I said :D
