Default Mobile phone scam?

Hi guys,

Just had a funny call on my phone, i say hello? and no answer then all of a sudden a girl says," hi do you remember me",i say who is it? she says do you remember me? i say who is it and she says the same again followed by:" we met in a club in london", sounds like an automated message being played. Anyone here heard of this or had the same call?

I'm on a contract phone so there is no chance of credit being raped, the funny thing is though, a mobile number comes up on my phone, i don't want to ring it back incase that is the scam and may cost a fortune.

Cheers Mick

you hide your number when calling, put your phone on loudspeaker, then when the mark answers you play the message and you can hear what your mate is saying back. At the end she gives a phone no to call my bro said 4 people took the no down. bro got me at work in the bait room I felt like a right plank till I realised It was a prank.

It's a sound-bite, a mate had it saved on his phone and we were playing that trick on a few people from the hotel at TOTB, some fell for it and the others just hung up!

Nah, as someone posted above, you ring someone and withhold your number, put your phone on loud-speaker while it's ringing, then when they answer, you play that clip......it's timed with delays in it, so people can get more and more confused (unless they tag on, of course).
