We have been informed of several scams that we thought you should be aware of. Happy telecom aims to keep you up to date and assist you with keeping abreast of your cybersecurity.
Scam 118820 involves the mis-dialing of a landline number, if you get the number slightly wrong, you get a message that there was a temporary fault on the line and you need to call 118 820 where an alternative number would be provided.
When you call 118820, the phone will be answered and they will ask what number you are trying to call and they will offer to put you through, hang up the phone. If you ask them to put you through, you will be charged a lot of money for the divert.
This has been reported, but we thought we should make you aware of it fortunately, if you are a happy Telecom customer your lines have call reporting on them so as soon as the call is made it shows up on our system and we can advise you on what to do.
If your business has been subject to these calls and you need assistance (even if you are not a Happy Telecom customer), please email us at support@happytelecomuk.co.uk or call 0800 285 1533
