Thanks Culprit and Joel, I almost always call back if I have a missed call from a number I don't know... one thing that is immediately suspicious though is that Canberra numbers generally go (02) 6........ so a number starting with 8 or 9 is pretty weird.

These scams can only work if your greed exceeds your better judgement

So there really are people who are that lonely and desperate that they ring back a missed call, especially from a number they don't know!

I bet if you look really hard, you'll find the letter 'L' tattooed on their forehead.

Some of those numbers without the 02 before are very much like my work numbers.

If they don't leave a message, I don't bother worrying about numbers never been called by any of those.

Pissed calls are a real hassle.

... Dale it has nothing to do with loneliness or anything, at least with me its simply a case of, some of my friends sometimes try to call me from their home phones, of whom I only have the mobile numbers of. Maybe try not to be so judgemental, hey. However, I agree that anyone who would fall for the $40 thing must be pretty greedy and stupid.

No, as I said, I was curious. With the first call, I have friends that live in the 95x area of Melbourne and thought it might be then calling from a landline.

With the NSW numbers, I called them from work to see who it was, as I have friends in Sydney and no, I don't have their landline numbers, just there mobile numbers.

So, I didn't know if it's someone I knew or not.

It has nothing to do with whether i'm lonely or desperate (which I'm not thank you!)

I get 3 calls a week from the overseas Indian syndicate and enjoy hanging up in their ear midsentence... who could waste a single breath on these people?

well there you have it.

ive had a few missed calls from these numbers.

i remeber thinking 9540... thats springvale isnt it? And the other one that starts with 02... i just thought it was someone from Sydney and didnt bother with it lol.

Besides, I dont ring anyone back (especially if i dont know the number) if they've pranked me... unless ofcourse its someone important or something.

Missed calls from private numbers suck too.
