Guy and Ladies, there is a phone scam targeting,sex workers and punters,it may not have got here yet though.

What happens is ,either with SW cooperation or using small device outside apartment block. The phone numbers are intercepted both incoming and outbound, but mostly incoming and phone gets a call back, short missed call.If you CALL this number back you are through to a computer, which will automatically call a premium sex line you will not know but all your credit is soon gone, and it keeps trying every few days to see if you top up.

The numbers are prefixed either +26 or +25 and are making millions and involve all sorts of nasty people.

I know sometimes I would call lady and if she was busy get a quick missed call, and I would call back, just be careful and check number, I know I did not always.

Be careful !!

This is complete and utter horse shit, if a scammer is going to intercept numbers why only target punters? Why not scam all of Grafton St? How the scammers know it's the punters no. and not just some randomer in the apartment/hotel?
If I'm stupid enough to call this number and loose all the credit on my punting phone that's one thing, but my phone has no way of repeatedly calling the scam number, so once I realise I've been scammed I won't call that number again.
If I do report the scan how will my mobile provider know I only call escorts from that phone and put two and two together and say well you ring escorts so you must also ring sex line.

There are scams out there that work on missed calls and when you ring back you get a premium number, but that's the only part of the original post that's correct.
