Bit of a weird one this.

Was comprehensively trashed, in London, on Saturday evening and as such, the memory of a slightly odd encounter with a young woman was erased from my mind completely until she texted me on Tuesday, making my brain wake up and acquire a partial recollection of the incident.

Any of you good CS folk heard anything recently about any dodgy stuff going on with mobile phone scamming of this nature? I.e. getting charged £20 for texting back to a number, or similar, or worse?

I'm a healthy sceptic as well as an ugly c*nt. And it was she who approached me, so I trust her about as far as I could throw her.

I remember being very guarded and quite suspicious of her, but that is all I can recall.

She might just have been flogging something and on commission.

But i'm assuming she's either a honey trap resulting in a ten Somalian arse kicking, or she's the governor of thirty Nigerians in an office somewhere with a pile of disposable phones and a list of drunk blokes phone numbers.

I haven't phoned the number and wasn't intending to, but wondered if texting it could potentially cause scam based grief.

No hits on google, either for her number, or the scenario of what went on.

Sorry for the essay.

Cheers all

Can you afford 20 quid to see what happens?

What's the number? I'm sure someone on here will text it

You sound like a wierdo. You must be an ugly fucker to never have had a girl approach and ask for your number. With that attitude you will never pull anything. It's a normal occurrence.

Cavey - I suppose so.

Dee - As I recall, young, slim and pretty. A bit too good to be true. I was trashed though.

Phil - Good idea Chief.

Baz - Awesome input. You must be full on BPSMF. Try reading my initial post. I did already mention that I am an ugly c*nt. Try not to let the door hit you on the arse on the way out.

Mate. Give it a text back. I know what you are saying about it being a scam but bite the bullet and give it a text.

Had a girl approach me when I was on holiday in Gran Canaria in a club.

She was a 10/10, I am pushing a 2, a strong 3 in my mums eyes.

All over me.

Then she wanted a drink, which I offered to buy....until she decided it was not from the bar, but in this room she knows about where a huge fuck off popeye chicken eating mother fucker was guarding.

No thanks

What's the first 5 digits of the number? It will be fairly easy to use Google to find out if its a premium number..

This would roughly be the best case scenario I was anticipating Spence

I envisage a Pickfords lorry, full of large afro-caribbeans on amphetamines, parked behind a sizeable tree and waiting to pounce

talk about being paranoid and unsure of yourself do you have skype? Try loading up a small amount of money and calling from that, or as you seem pretty old school a payphone?

Spence - I think she was just being friendly Chief.


Mr VRS - Already have. Did so late last night mate.


Alex - I'm just a realist mate and a healthy sceptic (especially considering all the dodgy shit that goes on these days). Birds don't usually approach me. It's VERY unusual. But if they do, it's ALWAYS when i'm paralytic. And i'm not exactly David Niven when i've had a skin-full.

If she's legit, I think she's just some altruistic person trying to assist a fellow concert goer.

Turns out she was at the same gig as me last week, couldn't get a ticket, but found a great spot with views of one of the big screens and with reasonable sound. She's going again this week and was basically offering to help.

...allegedly.







I'll probably end up murdered for my Oyster card this evening.
