suspected phone con

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have just been biled by 02 for allegedly making a phone call to tel no 08712770709. for at least 2 hours 53 minutes and was charged £35.00. From what I remember I never made a phone call to this number. Is  there somebody who has had a similar experience? I have just looked in google and it appears some people have had this problem. Please if anybody in the community has had this problem do share with me because I suspect there is a con.

The member you are talking to is called @viridis  He is an extremely 'bright spark' with all things technical wink

Brilliant to have a technically dright chap on the forum.

Unfortunately I am now and old guard having retired from the International Telecommunication Union  (the UN organ for Telecommunications) for over 20 years after working in 39 different countriesand but I am still open to technically brightb ideas coming from people, So please bring it on what ever exceptionally technically bright ideas you have to help me solve the mistery. I also understand from one of the responses that the maximumcommunication fronm Edreams would be 19 mins. So where does the dossier of 2 hrs 53 mins come from?

I am not sure he is still online sadly... 

As one of the 'old guard' myself (though my speciality was nursing) I couldn't even offer any reply to your query

I am content to learn from all the other 'bright sparks'  on here wink

I have no idea, you're the only one who has access to your phones call list to verify you did not call that number. 

Have you checked yet?

LOL I see you are now a Resolver @viridis  You appear to have 'resolved' this. (Well as much as you are able... without having access to the OP's call logs)

I think some people just say things which are ill informed in the hope that they can sound intelligent. The issue is that when a high bill comes in unaccounted for makes it very worrying for some of us.
