This morning I had a message from a telephone number starting 0035 - I didn't call it but was interested to know where it was from. According to Google it is fake number and that you shouldn't accept a call from them. Apparently you can use this legitimately if you are a write or TV producer and want to include a 'phone number in your work! Not quite sure how it works as part of scam but Google says on no account call it!!!

Every day you read of new scams it is really important that you keep your wits be one step ahead of these despicable people and don't reply to anyone you do not know.
Take care aways.
