Missed call/ text from unknown number scam:

Fraudster sends a text message or leaves a voicemail/missed call on the victim’s phone. The victim then calls/texts back and is unwittingly connected to a premium rate service which can cost up to £15 per call.

What should you do if you’ve been a victim of mobile phone fraud?

• Tell your mobile phone provider. 
• Inform PhonepayPlus (www.phonepayplus.org.uk), which regulates premium numbers and has statutory powers to stop mobile phone frauds and fine the offenders.

If a fraud has been committed please report it to action fraud www.actionfraud.police.uk telephone number 0300 123 2040.

Please inform others of this.

Thank you.
