THere was a scam a few years ago where you got a phone message and it asked you to call to collect money you had won or something or other. You called an 800 (or 888 or 866) number and it actually transferred you to a pay line without your knowledge that went to australia or something. You ended up getting charged for the call (which was like a 900 number here in the US) at a HUGE dollar per minute rate.
I would say your idea of calling from a pay phone first is a good idea!
