1349803	2013-07-25 03:43:00	It's lag. Wait a bit and you'll get the voice.... Why would you want to ring them??!!!	pctek (84)
1349804	2013-07-25 04:57:00	Of course you'd get charged if you called back...	Agent_24 (57)
1349805	2013-07-25 10:34:00	@pctek. Did I say I wanted to call them back? The hook is that some people think they have missed a real call so push the call back button. Social engineering in play? @agent_24. Yes, I vaguely remember that toll calls are charged for. Sheeesh. I said charged 'heaps' which implies that abnormally high charges would accrue. You obviously haven't heard of this type of rort. I'm just wondering if this is one of those. If you google the above number you can get a couple of hits. One is a warning from a Danish guy on facebook. Bit odd a Dane and a kiwi getting these calls from the same number.	linw (53)
1349806	2013-07-25 11:08:00	It wouldn't surprise me if it was. The fact it's on the Internet as calling other countries too is a good giveaway in my mind. Scammers go for whoever they can. If the number was legit you'd find it associated with a proper website. If you're feeling cheeky, go see if you can sign them up to a telemarketing list or something online.	Agent_24 (57)
1349807	2013-07-25 21:24:00	Hey, that's a good idea!! Don't think I'll bother, though. But I do like the suggestion!!	linw (53)

1349809	2013-07-26 22:17:00	Wow, that is an interesting site. Didn't know that existed. Interesting to see a reference to Danish calls, too. Thanks for taking the time.	linw (53)
