Phantom call charge

I've just noticed an upcoming charge for 26p to a number I've never called.

A quick search on the internet shows this as a likely scam. the number is 0123 000 0000

Can this be blocked and refunded?

If it is on your bill it is an OUTGOING call, so is not a scam. However, it is a common number that is dialled as a result of a fault on your line. Not only will you need a refund, the line also needs checking for faults or it is likely to happen again.

Hey there @billkilv, thanks for reaching out to us.

Any charges on the bills for calls would be an outgoing call as @nodrogd has mentioned.
Has this happened previously or is this the first time?
Let us know.

Kind regards.

Hi

First time ever. Just to note that I was recently put onto the internet connected phone following a cable fault.

Thanks
