Dodgy number

Why when calling this number ‭076669845674‬ does it tell me I have no minutes left on my contract and need to top up? I did have plenty of minutes left. The number appeared as a missed call.

Hey @Mark19ous

This number is very likely a scam and if you would successfully call it you would be charged premium rate outside of your allowances. I am glad you weren't able to make this call as it saved you from being charged for no reason.
Here is the link to the article regarding scams that are using 076 numbers.

Kind Regards
