Phone Number +011 924 6586 - **DO NOT ANSWER THIS NUMBER** - read my message!!

Hi everyone, there have been reports on social media about the above number - it is said that the people who answer it end up paying @£80 for the call and it also steals ALL details off your phone - including bank details etc if you have them on your phone - it then goes on to say that some people have been advised that efforts have been made to access their bank accts. I have put this number in my phone under the name 'DO NOT ANSWER THIS NUMBER' - at least that way you stand a fighting chance!! I have brought this to O2's attention. Take care out there please.

Thank you for the heads up.

I'll add it to my phones blocking calls software.

Thanks for the headsup. I don't as a rule answer international calls unless I recognise the number, too many scammers out there.

Not disputing your claims but how can they get info off your phone just by answering the call?

[viridis]

They cannot take details off your phone via voice connection.
I dont dispute the other claim (kind of) but that part is not possible.

Urban myth !

Unless you respond by pressing the keys when asked.........and what idiot would do that ?

[MI5]

Exactly my thoughts too

Although this number is a fisher, you get a call, you answer, they hang up. Anyone who rings back will pay a LOT in call charges.

I can understand that - many scams like this around.

I'm not too sure anyone would ring an international number back, I certainly wouldn't.
