A possible scam.

I sometimes receive missed calls with it ringing for only a single go.
The most recent event, just this evening, is from a Gambian number. My
telephone reports the originating number of the latest incident as being
002207228381.


Is this some sort of scam which will try and have me call back? I never
had such calls before I moved to the '3' network a couple of months ago
(but taking my old number with me, of course) and am naturally
concerned, considering that 3 exports my data for processing in a
developing country without data protection laws so stringent as ours.


Any comments?

I work in a bank and as part of Data Protection we have tests every
quarter. Personal Data cannnot be sent outside the EU, unless the
country has strict data protection laws! This is data protction laws
that are wrote by the g'ment and the EU! (i may be a bit wrong as i am
due to rerake the test!!!!)

Not a spelling test, though, eh?

This is '3' you are talking about - they don't seem to give a flying fig
about much other law, so why would they worry about the barely enforced DPA?
