SCAM? 08450229900 ‘Prank’ Phonecall

So, I just received a missed call from 08450229900. It lasted 1 second. I immediately Google’d the number to try and find out what company it was, but I only got one hit, the comment at the bottom of this post:

The comment was also left today, just 20 minutes ago. I wonder what that was all about? I guess, like this guy, that it is a scam. Anyone else had this phone call?
