Default Missed calls from premium rate numbers

Has anyone else been getting missed calls on their mobiles from premium rate
numbers?

For the last few days i've been getting missed calls (rings once) from 070
numbers, this morning I received another one, this time the number came up
as
+0449045579796. This is on a Vodafone handset. I suspect some sort of scam
and have not returned the calls.

Nick.

You should report this to www.phonepayplus.org.uk I'm sure
what they're doing isn't legal!

Looks fairly legit and PRC does not seem to be their raison d'etre.

Could be a sub-contract as may have been the case with Switch Telecom.

I get those all the time on my work mobile (they haven't found my personal
one yet..!). Ignore them.
