just had a cal from an 0845 number asking if i would accept a reverse charge phone call with the message "you have a reverse charge call from "static buzzing" say yes to accept it"

so i put the phone down as i didn't want to get involved

the next time i picked up the phone, the same message

so i disconnected and when i connected the line to call someone, i got the same message

so i said "yes"

and some woman on the phone said she was calling from the nhs

"why are you calling me, on a sunday, with a reverse charge phonecall?"

"there is a problem with our systems"

"then get them fixed and call me back later"

and put the phone down

then i called bt to find out what was going on and apparently it's one of them reserve charge phonecall things where they leave a message with a company and then it becomes all automated

08456853000 is the number it originated from so if you have caller id enabled and this number comes up with the same sort of message, beware
