Phone scam?
I just had a phone call but it rang off but I got to it. I have caller display & the number was coming from 01234 567890 & was indicated as a Payphone.
Must be a spam & I'm not calling the number, but what's it all about?

Looks like somebody in a pay phone in Bedford dialed the wrong number and hung up when they realised.

Thanks David
Doing a Google picks up all sorts of rubbish as the number is often used as a test form entry.
Dunno what the Payphone indicator was all about..? Could it be a BT or Sky test?

01234 is the dialing code for Bedford. No reason why you couldn't have 567890 as a valid number. We used to have "345678".
