Do not reply to 0709 numbers!!!

If you receive a text message or missed call with the prefix 0709 PLEASE do not call it back! Should you call it back the call could last up to 5 minutes and cost you a fortune! 0709 numbers are charged at premium rates and can cost up to £50 per minute and it isn’t illegal to do this!

Pass on the message to your friends and colleagues about missed calls to 0709 numbers.

  1. Presumably this is just in the UK? (I know you also cover international scams.) Well worth knowing though! Such a shame there are so many of these that one has to remember.

  2. Yes this is in the UK. I agree it is a shame that there are so many scams out there but hopefully through sharing our experiences we can all learn and help one another in stopping this kind of thing.
