Mobile Phone Scam
There is a new kind of mobile phone scam. A missed call will show on your mobile phone. The number is 0709 020 3840. The last four numbers may vary, but the first four will remain the same. If you call this number back. you will be charged £50 per minute. People have complained about thier phone bills, once they have realised the cost of the call, but apparantley this is completely legal.

SO BEWARE, DO NOT CALL BACK NUMBERS BEGGINING WITH 0709 OR NUMBERS THAT YOU ARE SUSPICIOUS OF.
