This must be a scam, but how?

Did you have to press any buttons to be put through? sometimes these connect to a premium rate number.

Or maybe you have won the lottery, even though you didn't buy a ticket ?

No, I didn't press anything at all

But you were "put through" to another number - could they have connected you to a high premium phone line at that point?

I don't know - is that possible without pressing/dialling anything?

I don't see why not. If you ring up a company and the person who answers puts you through to a colleague, you don't press anything. Was there a long gap between the person who answered and the next person you spoke to? Did you hear a dialling tone?

No, it was a seamless transaction.

Anyway, fabulously, we have today being trying to work out where we are getting a bill for this phone line. It doesn't appear on our business bills, or our personal bills.
