#1 (**permalink**) 11-27-2006, 04:36 PM

Hi All

Got a missed call from this number and because it was a 0871 (nat Rate)
thought it was safe to ring back. However on ringing 08713105217 I was
told all operators are busy and could i type in my number followed by
hash for a priority call back to choose my prize.

I havnt entered any competitions so fear the worse here.

Any one know this scam

Apparently you have won a prize for a competition you haven't entered -
it's genuine - but the prize might disappoint you.

Maybe keep ringing till an operator answers then ask them. Either way
by then you should have won more than enough prizes to counter any call
charges.

I'm more than happy to scam 100,000 people per day at only 5p per
minute (what a bargain!) before the authorities catch up with me.

By then (if ICSTIS are anything to go by) I'll be a multi-millionaire
and will happily stand up in court, say I'm sorry and pay a £50k fine.

I'll still be a couple of million in profit. And you should see the
views from my 8 bedroomed villa in the Caribbean..........
