I shudder to think.

Probably bill your phone account with some expensive service.

I Pressed it!

got an overseas call centre who wanted to know if i had a valid credit card...then got the salesman trying to flog me a prepaid holiday.....spoke to me as if i had a major hearing issue and well as comprehension problems.

Informed them i did not like to be spoken to as if i was a fool because only a fool would give up their credit card details to a complete stranger.

Hung Up In His Ear!
