    It's a scam number. A hidden reverse charge number. They know people with a brain won't sign up to their crap so they spout out a load of shite hoping you don't hang up.

    They took a cool €52 off you, not too shabby for 26 minutes work.

    You Sure on that, it sounds fairly plausible that it was a reverse charge. Be sure this doesn't come back at you when you get the bill.

    I won €2,000,000 out of the blue the other day. Got a text telling me it was true and to ring this number.

    I figured they'll track me down.

    Weird number. I googled it, and it showed up here, although I'm not too sure what that tells you.

    +1 is the international dialling code for the USA/North America/Central America area, although according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_country_calling_codes, there's no country with an international dialling code starting with +15.

    Then again, the number could be faked, so...

    SCAMOLA

    +1 means USA. 520 after it means Arizona. Simples. 928 is also in Arizona.

    Ya, I figured that out laters, but was too lazy to post about it.

    Irregardless, still sounds like a mofo-in' scamola. With reverse call charges to boot.

    I really thought that this thread was going to be like the one where the AH poster got into a David Thorne-esque email fued with a Nigerian about buying a monkey.

    I am disappoint...

    (On reading back over my first sentence, it really reads like I'm on acid or something. The thread is in Legendary AH threads iirc.. Brilliant read!)

    Edit - Here it is for anyone interested. Epic read imo http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055566855
