guten morgen
all the numbers used are international premium rate (revenue share) numbers.  The regulators (UK/Austrian) know or could easily find out who is behind this fraud.

The Austrian 0820 numbers in the text messages are similar to our 0871 numbers.

The international regulator responsible for regulating these numbers and companies using them is

If you enter the Austrian numbers with 0 and not 44 ( 0820990914 for example) into http://www.rtr.at/ you can find the company who has been allocated

Ambavox and Maxtis may not be the companies operating the scam but they will know who they have supplied the numbers to. And remember these numbers are revenue share numbers.

It's also interesting to note that Maxtis also supplies Sierra Leone numbers for use to bill for premium rate 'services'.

got this text twice in one week urgent large parcel awaiting delivery please call now on +23222270680for tomorrow international parcel deliveries from this number +447879644227 this is a scam do not ring it this has been reported to offcom

I received a text message a couple of days ago which said:

!!URGENT!!
Large Parcel Awaiting Delivery
Please Call Now On
+232 222 70680
For Delivery Tomorrow
International Parcel Deliveries

– which is a Freetown in Sierra Leone telephone number.  I don't understand how they would make money out of this, unless that's a premium rate number in Sierra Leone, or it's a scam perpetrated by UK mobile phone operators (joke).

Interestingly, the sender’s number was in the UK… +44 7884 443307.  

I forwarded the message to Vodafone’s Anti-spam service.

This is a complete hoax ,my other half works for the herts frad squad and the people that are running this shold realise that this could be an imprisonal offence.

I got this text. Am expecting a parcel from Australia about this time so tried ringing the number.  However, after checking with the sender they confirmed they had never given my mobile number as a contact.  A scam I won't fall for again!!

Looking through SOME of these pages, and also the pages at http://phoneowner.info/Number.aspx/23222270682 I have gathered a list of SOME of the UK caller IDs (such as +447748179224) apparently responsible for these fraudulent SMSs.  My list has 49 different numbers in, occurring between 1 and 7 times each.

I have sent it to my provider Virgin Mobile.  If any other providers, or any police forces or regulators wish to have this list, get in touch with me at "petef319@fordy.org".

Got text message on 23rd November from number +44 7876 250433 asking me to call +232 222 70680 as I had large parcel awaiting delivery and to arrange delivery for tomorrow.

Looking at comments here glad I didn't call as it could have been costly. Obviously this is some sort of scam text. Especially as they appear to be changing the mobile number every so often.

Suggest staying well clear

The number +232 222 70680 isn't listed in international (http://www.kftv.com/infozone/general/int-dialling.asp (+234 is Nigeria etc). Most likely a scam. If 222 is a premium rate number in that country and international dialling can invoke the rate (how to find out? how to find out if uk 0900 can be called from overseas?) then that's where we lost money. I'll assume the 07.. mobile texting us the +23 number can't generate charges. A week later now, the +23 number is non-existent.

got a text from this number... saying i had a parcel delivery- glad to know there was no real reason to call

We have had numerous calls from people asking about a parcel.  We are a small company in Peterlee innCo Durham UK and the number they ring to get put through to ourselves is a UK mobile as follows - +447833983690 and the call came from +23222270680.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT CALL!!!!!!!!!!!
