Hi

Thanks for a great website and forum.

I've just received one of these calls from the "information team". They used a different number though. 1471 revealed I was called on 0871 872 3790.

The second thread I checked (this one) I found the answer to my query - result Cheesy

Is this from the same company - how can I check?

Phone rang today, a recorded message said to ring James on the following number 0871 2089406 Angry This Sounds dodgy

1: Anyone has any info on the 0871 2089406 number

2: Will I be charged for answering the number

3: Is it a scam?????  because I will be p****d off if it is and I have to pay for it.

Rant over

It's the information team scam. 0871 number IIRC, 10p per minute or thereabouts. There's more posts on here about it.

I too just received the 'Hi, this is John from the Information Team' message. The call was left by 0871 240 9000 and asked me to phone back 0871 240 9911. Scam alarm bells went off in my head soon after listening to it, since there was no mention of a company name or any indication that he knew my name.

Reported to Ofcom this evening via their website - http://www.ofcom.org.uk/complain/landline/nuisance/silent/?itemid=284827 - took me a while to find this form! I recommend reporting it if you've received one of these messages as action is only taken if Ofcom receive some (unknown) number of complaints.

Could this website have a category for suspected scam numbers? I would have liked to find something other than 'number not found' when I searched, and it might just help others avoid calling out of curiosity.
