On Grumbletext.. ""Ben"" phone scam- This one was clever. Had half a message left on my answephone from a ""Ben"" - it cut in half way through the number then repeated it. (This was on my home phone, even though I am with the TPS). As I am self employed, I called back using my mobile as I thought it was a mobile number I was calling and it might be a customer. Even the message was convincing -"" Hi this is Bens phone, very busy right now, if you are calling about the radio, please listen to the following message..."" or something like that. So I listened , waiting to leave him a message and eventually got bored and hung up. I stupidly tried again this morning, when the penny finally dropped - SCAM!I immediately called vodaphone who to their credit are refunding the ï¿½1.30 the first call cost me as I wasn't warned that the call was outside my free minutes. They were also going to pass on the number to the relevant dept. I also filed a report with the TPS - whether it will do any good, who knows. Hope this is of some help and stops these scum making at least a few ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s Grumbletext, UK consumer complaints about ""Ben"" phone scam - post your opinions, complaints, comments online or via SMS about ""Ben"" phone scam ""Ben"" phone scam complaint, ""Ben"" phone scam review, ""Ben"" phone scam opinion, ""Ben"" phone scam consumer review, ""Ben"" phone scam consumer complaint, ""Ben"" phone scam customer complaint, ""Ben"" phone scam consumer opinion, ""Ben"" phone scam customer opinion, Grumbletext
