Title: phone scam? Post by: Claw75 on January 09, 2007, 04:16:41 PM just had a very odd couple of phone calls on my landline. First was from a woman claiming to be from some company 'south africa somethingorother' - asked me if i would be prepared to hold whilie she put through a call from south africa. I asked her who it was, and she said she didn't know, they had just asked to speak to whoever answered the phone. I said no thank you, and hung up. Couple of minutes later, another phone call, another woman. Had a foreign sounding accent, but not south african. - Hi is that Marlene? - No, I think you have the wrong number. - oh. is that the picot (my old name) household? - no, you've got the wrong number.
Anyway, not sure what was going here, but just being extra paranoid I suppose. Am I right in thinking there's no way I could have incurred any nasty surprises to my phone bill as a result of these calls? Title: Re: phone scam?
