[Gllug] [OT] Phone Scam?

Chaps,

Probable phone scam... laomao received a text message saying a courier
had tried to deliver something, please call the provided number to
arrange re-delivery, citing reference foo.

Calling the number results in a series of believable recorded messages
and menus... after about 5 minutes of this I became suspicious - no
company name was ever used, and it just felt wrong

laomao says that she used up over a pound in credit on her phone for
less than a minute...

The number was 07090297367

I guess there's nothing one can do - I've probably wasted more than 20
quid and feel a bit gullible - but just making you all aware.

:(
