potential phone scam?

[Road2Ruin]

Hi All,

I received and email this morning from an unrecognised source asking me to call them on a business related matter. The phone numbers they gave are 070 numbers, which I believe is a premium rate number.

Message reads 'Hi, I called last week regarding a recruitment
process for my company. We have seen an
increase in business and need more
employees/staff. I was told that someone would call me back. I would appreciate if someone could assist me. Many Thanks Matt Allsop. 07070274433 / 07040859760'

I am not sure if this is a scam or not as I dont beleive the number generates a profit for anyone other than the phone company. Any advice?

Thanks
Peter

Could well be.

Beware the phone that rings and rings and rings and finally announces a message that no one is available to take your call.

What really happens is that the call is answered immediately by a computer, the computer then plays you the sound of a phone ringing for a few minutes, then it says 'sorry, please call back later' ad infinitum.

Kerching.
