Scam Number
 
In my postbox Ive had a brown envelope (used) handwritten on the back from someone i dont know 0752 etc and a message to ring it asap.

Now being worried as a member of my family is very ill i phoned it on my virgin home phone. To my surprise my fiancée answered the call on her pay as you go mobile wondering why i rang?

She has no call forwarding and to us its a mystery!
How come a totally different number redirects me to her phone.

I called customer services and the lady couldn't work it out either but put a note on my account.

I will log in to my virgin account tomorrow to see how much I've been charged for this call.

Anyone have any idea whats going on?
cheers

I know that on the mobile I leave running for SMS's (microphone bust so not much good for anything else) I got a 2 ring call from 07520 905019 before it stopped, rumour is that it's a high cost callback number that scammers are using to gain money though the VM costs PDF's state otherwise???

Checked my bill online the call cost 50p weird thing is it shows my fiancees mobile number not the number written on the envelope i had dialed.

Perhaps if i had used my mobile to make this call it would have cost more, still a lot of work just to gain 50p off me! I will be more careful next time !

Thanks for the number checker link I've used it but this one not included.
