0844 scam calls

[Chick]

I was in Pennan recently when I had a call from an 0844 number. It rings once and if you are curious and ring it back you get a message thanking you for confirming your number.

Then your confirmed number along with thousands get sold to scammers. This is where Local Hero's was filmed and the red telephone box is listed so I rang the scammers number from the phone box and was thanked for confirming the number.

I love the notion of scammers phoning a phone box in the north of Scotland.
