This number costs about 50p/minute to ring from a BT landline (more from a mobile) and the person you are calling takes a share of this.
They harvest a pile of jobseekers email addresses and spam them with this message saying you have an interview, the jobseeker thinks WTF, no I don't and calls the number.
Cue recorded message, hopefully to keep them on the line for a while and kerching! Money in the bank.
Try reporting it to OFCOM but you are probably pissing in the wind...

It's interesting what google reveals about that phone number.
As a rule of thumb any message from an agent or company that uses a free mail provider such yahoo, hotmail or gmail should be put in your spam folder.
Getting a domain name with an associated email address costs a few quid.

Not the kind of number to chat away on for half-an-hour.
