Thats a very good idea, but you have to question the stupidity of some people. If someone rang up and said "You have won x" and left their phone number, it would be wise to type the number in to google and see what the number actually is!

I mean for all they knew, they could have been murdered when claiming their "free beer"

True, perhaps what I said was a bit extreme as well but the people on the end of the call could kidnap them, steal their money etc... I don't drink beer, so if someone were to tell me that I'd won a tenner and to meet them at a specific place at a specific time I would be very wary. Im assuming the "beer" they "won" wasn't worth more than a tenner
