last week had a missed call and a voicemail (private number). listened to it and it was just background noise (sounded like a busy place) for 5 seconds. Today I had a missed call from a mobile number, called it back an hour later and asked who it was Man: "Hello" (after about 15 seconds) So I'm like what the fuck? And hang up. 5 minutes later I call back because its doing my head in wondering what the hell it is. Silence, like last time. And he hangs up. |

never call back 'two ring missed calls' on your mobile...my guess is its a recorded message to keep you on at a fiver a minute or something stupid like that. one of the oldest tricks in the book...if a 1000 people a day fall for it and they get a pound from each one, thats not a bad weeks money for setting up a 'free' premium rate number is it. |

Noble do you own a publishing company that publishes mobile phone magazines? (no detective/nosey cunt) |

Reminds me of when I was selling a car on ebay with buy it now. Some bellend sent me a message saying "you've listed the car on ebay as a manual yet I can clearly see from the pictures that it's an automatic". I told him it wasn't an automatic but he was adamant. "Maybe you've listed the wrong car?" he said, as if I had a fleet of the things for sale. I had to take a close up picture of the gear stick before he believed that it was a manual. He then said "Thanks for that. I'll consider my offer and get back to you". The car was listed at £2,000 and had a book price of £2,600 so it was already dirt cheap. Next day he sends me a message saying "I'll give you £1,400", like he'd read an article on how to haggle on the price of a car. I sold it a couple of days later for £2,000 |
Nah its not a Nigerian
