I got a blank text message on my mobile from someone in my phonebook. 10 seconds later my work landline phone rings and there is a recorded message (woman’s voice). It tells me that I have just received a blank text message (and quotes the phone number which the abovementioned text came from) and that if I wanted to cancel this service I should call 07953 966 066.
The above got me a bit worried because there is no way that my mobile (personal, as I have another mobile phone number for work) and my work landline phone should be linked. There are very few people who have both my personal mobile phone and my work landline phone together.
The contact, whose mobile phone sent me the original text message, has both my personal mobile and work landline number saved under the same name. You can come to your own conclusions from this!!!!
I called 07953 966 066 from my work landline, and another recorded message tells me I cannot use this service from this phone as there is no caller display.
I am not about to use my mobile phone to call back because I think that is when the scam begins.
I would advise all people to advise the vulnerable people that they know about this number and tell them not to call it if they should receive a text or recorded message telling them to call the number.
