Telephone Scam using Premium Rate: don't fall for them!!

We have received a report of telephone calls being made in Lincolnshire from premium rate telephone numbers.
 
Scam Details
 
You receive a call that is disconnected when you answer the telephone call.
 
When you attempt to ring the number back, you are charged a very high premium rate telephone call charge.
 
Please do not return any telephone calls from numbers that you do not recognise if the call has been disconnected before any verbal contact being made. Numbers starting with 074 or 075 should be treated with caution.
 
You may not be aware of the charges until you receive your next telephone bill.
