New Phone Scam
(Well a new one to me),
Had a call this evenning and when I answered it said you have one new message, press 1 to listen to your messages.
Pressed one and there was a recording from a chap who claimed he had been trying to get hold of me and said he was from a telecoms company - I only listened to about 7-10 seconds and realised it was a scam as he was talking slowly.
I don't even have a BT answering service but I pressed 1 just out of curiosity.
So be carefull out there, it probably dials back to an 0990 number.
