Wangiri call back scam 07418 (offshore) premium charge number

Hi Everyone

Possible Wangiri scam!

I just wanted to warn you all about missed calls from the following number ranges.  If you receive a missed call from any of the following prefixes be cautious about calling the number back. These mobile numbers  are allocated in Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man and are deemed international offshore 07 numbers.

074184, 074520, 074521, 074522, 074523, 074524, 074525, 074526, 074576, 075090, 075091, 075092, 075093, 075094, 075095, 075096, 075097, 07524, 07624, 077003, 077007, 077008, 077810, 077811, 077812, 077813, 077814, 077815, 077816, 077817, 077818, 077819, 077977, 077978, 077979, 078297, 078298, 078299, 078391, 078392, 078397, 078398, 079111, 079117, 079240, 079241, 079242, 079243, 079244, 079246, 079247, 079248, 079249, 079370, 079371, 079372, 079373, 079374, 079375, 079376, 079377, 079378, 079379

This morning I had a missed call from 078418 420882 and called it back and I have subsequently been charged 55p for a 1 min call. First off the call was silent for around 20 seconds, then it started ringing for 30 seconds then went silent again. I immediately called Vodafone to report this as a wangiri call and they are investigating.  I hope you don’t get caught by this scam!

Regards
