I've just had a real strange text come through on my voda payg.
Its all in what would appear to be Greek, or code of some sort.

I know there are other scams out there that miss call you, or send texts like that just so the curious call back and then get charged £1.50 a minute.

I was just wondering if anyone else has had this message or similiar.

I'm tempted to call the number, but not going to. The first 6 digits are +30697.
I'ts not anyone I recognise or know, but then it could just be a wrong no. !
Does anyone know where that is or any other info on it.

Thanks

It could be a logo if your phone is not compatible.

Nokia 3310's are compatible with logos but it could be a picture message? Or it might be SPAM?

Hmmm...could be spam.
Dont think it's a pic message either..
I'm more curious about the sender.
If I call it, I just know I'm going to be charged loads of money, If I dont call it I'll just never know who it was

Ahhh....thanks skiddie......
Thought it was Greek, Still think it's one of those scam lines though.
Any one speak Greek?
I'll post the text if so?
