the phone rang and when i picked it up it was dead. as i went to put it down a voice spoke and said......... hello,we are MCS message service .you have a message.to pick up your message please ring such and such number. who the hell are they? i dont have a message service for my phone calls!! i slammed the phone down lol.

It sounds like it is a text message that has been sent to your landline....

Susie its a scam, google MCS on UK and see, I have copy and pasted this for you, I found this . I have an answering machine message from 'MCS'. Is it a scam? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- They said that they had a message waiting for me. This seems like a scam as surely wouldn't they just tell me the message? I've searched the internet and can't find anything on MCS, but does anyone else know about this kind of thing? I had one of these aslo last Friday. Very polite voice on phone, when I was trying to interupt him, asking who he was from, (was something like mcs) he continued saying he had a massage etc then hung up. It also was a 0871 number. Big Scam! Dont panic, you did the right thing. Gillie xx

ooh ekk rosi and ive just hung up lol perhaps they will ring back eh?

thanks gillie this was an 0871 number aswell qaand it was a young lad. glad i hung up lol

Susie, I always feel that if anything is so important and its someone you know well enough, they can always reverse the charges and speak directly to you rather than leave a message, I never trust messages from people I dont know and if I ever pick up my phone, I say hello and if that person doesn't speak straight away I put the phone down, if I hang on, nine times out of ten its one of those useless calls trying to sell me rubbish I dont want, or more often just a call centre.

gillie im glad im not the only one who puts the fone down if no one answers me lol i cant be bothered with them.
