Evil Sid Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Just had a call from a guy claiming to be from the telephone preference company, the ones who are supposed to block nuisance calls. after the usual blurb about name address etc they then asked if i paid my phone by direct debit or over the counter and proceeded to ask me to confirm my bank details. when i refused several times they put the phone down. similar thing to this one, reported earlier in the week. http://www.warrington-worldwide.co.uk/2016/08/06/police-warning-over-telephone-internet-scam/ be warned folks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Thanks for the warning Evils. I hope nobody falls for it Did you do 1471 to get their number and/or report it to 101 and the Action Fraud people? They say people should report all instances as it gives a bigger picture about the activity of these scammers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
