| 1449099 | 2018-04-29 11:47:00 | Can one be charge $70 or $80 just by picking up a ringing phone (not mobile) by picking up the hand set, no one there, then hang up. Friend says she has, She "says" that Spark said it was a new scam happened early - mid April. Would it be more possible that her partner saw the number and rung back thereby activating charges? Nothing on Spark about a raging new scam. They are on wireless rural and home phone is on that. I am on Vodafone same scheme and do get those calls from time to time both prior to and after going wireless.:eek: | Arnie (6624) | ||
