Common Scams Within The UK That Use Missed Calls & Text Messages From Unknown Phone Numbers:
These scammers use a simple but effective tactic, they will call your phone and hang up straight away before you get time to answer. Your phone records the missed call which you are unlikely to recognise. Many people will then call the number back to find out who called them. However, the returned call can then potentially lead to a scam in two ways:
1. The number you call back may have been set up as a premium rate number, without you even knowing this, which then means you will be charged by your provider to connect to the number as well as charged allot for each minute you stay connected.
2. When you call the number back you may be greeted with an automated message telling you that you've won a prize, along with another number you must call in order to claim your prize. This second number is usually set up as a premium rate number which ends up costing you alot to connect to them as well as a higher rate per minute to stay connected to claim your prize.
Text message scams are on the rise and generaly start by sending you a text from a number you don't recognise. However, the text is generally worded as though its being sent from someone you know and use messages such as "Hi, its Trevor. I just arrived how are you?" or "Happy Birthday old fella, we should meet up for a catch up". Another common tactic is for an automated message to be sent which sounds like someone is trying to flirt with you. This tactic works well as many people respond and begin texting back many times with the scammer. Its only later, when its to late that they have been charged a high rate per message sent, it can get worse as sometimes phone companies will charge you to receive the messages as well.
Here Are Some Warning Signs To Look Out For:
- You have received a missed call from an unknown number.
- You never heard your phone ring or vibrate.
- The missed call or text message is from an 09 number, which is used as a premium rate number in the UK.
- You receive a friendly text message from someone who sounds like a friend but you don't recognise the name or number.
- If you do call a number back and you are met by a pre recorded message asking you to call another number (often starting with 09) but the message does not state the call charges that might apply.
- Remember to stay vigilant and check the unknown phone number first here at whoscalled.co.uk as we may have many other users that have commented warning others about the number!
