The latest scam:  calls to mobiles (yes, my mobile!), registers call number 
on missed call, then you call to find out who it was. It was a 'you have 
won' message and if I called this 1903 number at a cost of $3, I would win 
a prize worth at least $40 [probably a discount to the cost of some other 
service like carpet cleaning]. How's that for a scam???

You're free to cite if you wish, Robin.
