The present Mrs. G and I were sitting in an M & S cafeteria during Saturday afternoon. My mobile rang, which for me, in public, is an embarrassment, why ? I don’t know. My phone is on a ‘pay-as-you-go’ tariff and I had about £14 of credit – I know, because I checked.
Before I could excavate it from my inside pocket, it stopped. I ran thru’ the menu and rang the number. A recorded female voice told me that I did not have enough credit to make this call. I called out the number to my wife and she rang it with the same result. She too is on a pay-as-you-go and at that moment had a credit of about £7.
At this point my suspicions started to man the barricades as I detected the possibility of an attempted scam.
Does anyone have an answer ?

It’s only a thought…..maybe if you’d been on a contract the call would have gone through and you would have received a ginormous bill!
Have to say, if I don’t recognise the number I take the attitude that ‘if it’s important, they’ll ring back…if not, who cares?!?’
By the way, I too hate it when my phone rings in public.

That’s like saying cars have a lot to answer for because of lousy drivers. If you don’t recognise a number, don’t ring it back!! I have the impression that there are a good few masochists on here!:stupid:

I think your right John, the lengths some people will go to, to get you to part with your money, is, well, unbelieveable. I.D. Theft is a big thing also. The tinternet has a lot to answer for.
