Default Phone Scams

Are there any particular scams happening at the moment? I've had a call from a dodgy number (which I didn't answer btw!)


do you reckon it's one of those ones where they want you to dial it back, and then they sting you for pots of dosh? DO I need to report it to my phone provider or anyone????


0035 361 734 0000

I think 0035 is Bulgaria

I thought it was Cyprus. Do you have any friends on holiday?

I'm sure you can Google the country code.
