The usual Scam

Post by annafern »

Just had the usual extra fund scam but interesting this time there was a phone number which to be honest nearly threw me and for a few moments I thought it might be genuine!!

So I called it, blocking my number. Rather than say who I was, I asked him for his name and guess what he couldn't and wouldn't answer me.

Anyway his details are.

I'm sure he's not genuine - but I wouldn't give an anonymous caller my name. If someone phones me, I'd expect them to know who they want to talk to - otherwise I put the phone down.
