Had the same number call my mobile today (did a search using the whole number and ended up here) so it looks like it is probably a scam.

Re: Who's is this number?>>>

I heard about a lot of people with calls to South Africa, i got one. This guy needed my bank details and PIN so he could secretly wire his fathers £8 million. Apparently he was killed as he was going to the police about some bribery.

I told him to never ring me again, or I will contact the British police.

How dumb do they think we are???
