Hi,

I have just received a report about a telephone scam.

A message would come from telephone number 0118 9049938.
The message would say that there is a call waiting and to press any key to receive the call.
The message is spoken by a well spoken male.
Advice is not to respond.
The alert did not say why not to respond but I guess it is because doing so would then incur a large cost.

Also, if you are plagued by nuisance calls there is a B.T. Call Guardian Phone available that guarantees no nuisance calls. It can be purchased via the web or from places like Currys.
A caller would have to say their name and press the hash key. The phone then rings and tells the recipient who is on the line. Nuisance calls apparently don't have this capacity.
