You have probably heard about this but for those who havent:

There is a new kind of mobile phone scam. A missed call will show on your
> mobile phone. The number is 0709 020 3840! The last four numbers may vary,

> but the first four numbers will remain the same! If you call this number

> back, you will be charged £50.00 per minute. People have complained about

> their phone bills, once they have realised the cost of the call, but

> apparently this is completely legal. So beware, do not call back numbers

> beginning with 0709

This information was supplied to all service providers from Vodafone this morning, this is not a hoax, and has been checked out by Vodafone. You will be charged £50 per min by calling an 0709 number. Please be careful.
