SMS Phone Scam - Warning

This particular variation of this scam is old as the number has been blocked but if you ever get anything like this requesting you call back i would recomend that you just ignore it.

There is a brand new mobile phone scam going around that comes in the form of a SMS.

The message will say something along the lines of "Please call me on 09011500065 Urgent" it will say it is from "KB" Do not call this number, it is premium rate number charged at £5:00 per minute.

Also when you call it you will get an engaged tone; this is not a real engaged tone it is simply a recorded sound that will make you call again, and again, and you are CHARGED!!

You can ask your service provider to block these calls & messages on pay monthly packages. I've not been able to get it done on pay as you go so be careful
