Just received a call from a foreign sounding lady on 01142 360311. She told me she was from my 'Broadband provider'. Really annoyed that I gave it away that I knew it was a scam before I could have some fun. Anyone fancy calling her to scam her back?

I dialled it and it was an incorrect number. I was going to rip them to shreds

Really?

Just realised that my post looks as if its a scam itself!

It was the number that I got from 1471 - Maybe I'd better just delete the thread.

The 0114 dialling code covers Sheffield.  So not foreign.  They just talk like that up there.

Anywhere north of the Cotwolds is foreign to me

A quick Google search of the number suggests it's a scam

I know it was a scam! I just didn't want the folks from the TEF thinking I was trying to scam them by making up a scam...Does that make sense?...I'll get my coat!

P.S. It was an Eastern European accent.
