I was suspicious because it's very non specific - always a sign to be wary of, so I googled it. It's a big scam. The telephone number is a premium rate mobile number (all 0703 numbers are) and cost £2 to connect and 50p/min.
The reply email address is ben.ben457 at yahoo.co.uk.
I found hundreds of forum posts from all sorts of people had the same although some of te phone numbers were different - I think they keep pulling the plug but he just gets another number
