Hi

Had a call from this number @ 27 Oct 08 at 12:42 - Rang for about 1 second then rang off.  I shan't be returning the call. :-)

As others have said, +232 appears to be from Sierra Leone, what do these clowns get out of this?

yeah i got call from that number few minutes ago! rang for 1 second and stopped.

Just this second got a call from the same number. Rang for 1 second.

Not gonna ring it back, well I might from a payphone just to wind who ever it is up.

I'd love to know where they got my number!

had a call on my mobile this afternoon too!

had a missed call too from this number on 29/10 - thought it looked dodgy so didnt call back.

had e text saying had a parcel waiting delivery and to call this number....guessed it was something sussed so didnt call....

first i had 2  txt messages saying i had an urgent delivery and to phone number said number,then a missed call from said number but the messages were sent from a 077 number.I will not be phoning any of the numbers.

i had a call rang for one second then went off. i also would like to know who has my number but will not be returning the call!

Had a missed call from this number, didn't even ring. Just got back from Frnce, I wonder if there is some scam going on that picks up phone numbers using the tunnel or similar.

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.

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'.
