Just as well, aren't 070 numbers premium rate?

Near enough. They cost about 50p/minute from a BT land line (probably more from mobiles) and the party who receives the call gets a cut of this....

Can you see what it is yet?

[RSoles]

Heres the same scam - the phone number is "not recognised" though.

I actually fell for this scam when i was younger.

I was a bit skint (a bit of an under-statement!) at the time so thought why not, what could go wrong?

Within a couple of hours, £3500 appeared in my bank account. Followed by emails and text messages asking me to transfer 90% via Western Union and I could keep the other 10%.

Alarms bells rang

I went straight to my bank and they immediately agreed to split it 50/50. I was still getting text messages from them (Latvians) while sat there with the bank manager asking where the money was :O

The text messages and emails eventually stopped after I told them the bank had spotted fraud on my account.

It's suprising what people will do when they are broke.

You could be onto a winner there.
