A quick google search shows other have been called and charged the same. Obviously a scam

You can't be charged for just receiving a call if you are in the UK.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

I imagine they are using callouts, then when a number is active, just billing the relevant network via the payforit scheme somehow.

I have reported it and made all the same points as above to 02 they just kept saying I shouldn't answer any calls from 08 or 09 numbers even when I told them repeatedly that I had never seen the number nor received/made any calls to it and at the times they say it called I was fast asleep and my phone was on charge and idol.
