International Parcel Deliveries

Said they had an international parcel to deliver. I checked on internet first as not expecting parcel! Glad I didn't ring!!

As above, I always check texts from unknown numbers, and especially with a foreign code

I just got one in the last few mins.  sender was +447536006412  and asking me to ring  +43820990912.  I phoned T Mobile ( my phone company) but they say nothing can be done and there is no one it can be reported to.  Natrually, I didnt phone either of the numbers, but would hang them from the highest building I could find if I got hold of them

Message same as above, asking to call the same number in Austria.

I got the same text today from +447536005961.

I got the same Text Yesterday from +447536006412

Thanks Guys

i got one to, and it looks like a scam, so if they make loads of money out of our calls than surly b.t. is in on it and they are scammers too. BAD b.t.

I got this message too - thought maybe it was a t-mobile problem but looks like orange network too. Thanks goodness I didn't ring. Thanks!

I have been getting miss calls from this number for a few days now...was odd as I dont know anyone in Austria but I tried calling back from my work line and it wouldnt go through so im guessing it only accepts mobile calls so they can make their money..dont call from your mobile and tell your service provider to block the number.

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

The Austrian regulator 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'.
