Another scam website http://www.libertyhomeservice.com and the give away is the phone number. It’s one of the mobile 070 numbers, disguised by adding the international dialling code. Remember +44 (70x) is the same as + 44 (0) 70x is the same as the danger number 070x – calls made to 070 numbers are anonymously transferred, and to rub salt in the wound – the caller pays the charges for the transfer!
These mobile-style personal numbers (beginning 070) give you fantastic flexibility for your business at no cost. 07-K numbers include free call forwarding to UK mobiles, UK landlines and landlines in over 180 overseas countries. This flexibility ensures that they are a perfect additional tool for roaming business people or employees ‘away from base’ – as well as for staff back at the main office. Customers dialling from the UK will have their calls diverted automatically at no cost to you.
Always ask for a fixed landline number or at least a UK mobile number if you are looking for a genuine transaction.
