Received a FB post saying 'don't answer calls from 0207 946 1291. If you do, you will be billed £340' goes on to say something about the number not been recognised by OFCOM and is a fake number.
I know theres some horse manure that does the rounds on FB but just wondered if theres anything in this as ive heard similar things in the past re phone numbers that somehow reverse the bill to the receiver.
Thanks.

Just read that link, thank you Mamy for clearing that up :-)

Lots of hoaxes around but always good to double check - you do read horror stories.

As I said Mamy, I know theres a lot of horse dump doing the rounds on social media and ive heard lots of similar stories over the years re: phone scams, but that link seems to have put it to bed, thanks again...
