Why do some people still try and return calls to numbers they do not
recognise? If the call is important, the caller will call again, if it
is not important, or more importantly, part of a scam, you have saved
money by not calling back, and if it is a scam, you could have saved a
lot of money.

Back to the subject line, 00 is the prefix before an international call,
i.e. 00 44 for the UK, so by just dialling 00 you will not get anything,
or be charged anything.

Even so, dont call it back if its not a recognisable number. If it is a
customer, theyll call back.

It is crazy the amount of people that call numbers back, what is wrong with
them? What did they do before CLID?

What did I do before my parents had a phone in the mid 60s ? I either
walked to my Grannies and used the big Bakelite thing with the two bells on
the wall or around to the phone box with four old pence in the slot and
press button A or button B...you lot dont know what you have... :~))))

My friend works in the local police telecoms fraud department and when I
asked him about this he said that Microsoft have issued a warning about
this scam.

Basically if you call it back you will immediately be charged Ł20,000
and your soul will be used as the devils football for the rest of time.

Please tell as many people as possible about this, which isnt a hoax
email at all, oh no, because remember I told you a policeman told me
about it?
