New Phone scam???

[babycakes]

Beware....

A recorded message comes through that starts "This is a free national awareness message...."

Apparently it goes on to say something about debts but I put the phone down. OH wanted to listen to the message and see what they said but the last time I had a recorded message I was charged £30, three times so I put the phone down. When I googled it other people have had the same but the number was different, the one I had was 0012697682672. 0012 is the dialing code for Bolivia????????????????
