Mobile Scam
 
Not sure if this is a hoax or not - but it came from a fairly reputable source

There is a brand new mobile phone scam going around that comes in the form of a SMS.

The message will say something along the lines of "Please call me on 09011500065 Urgent" it will say it is from "KB"

Do not call this number, it is premium rate number charged at £5:00 per minute.

Also when you call it you will get an engaged tone; this is not a real engaged tone it is simply a recorded sound that
will make you call again, and again, and you are CHARGED!!

I don't know if this one is true or not but there have been instances where this type of SMS scam has taken place. Take care out there!
