Another scam telephone call.

[2little2late]

Received a phone call yesterday claiming I am entitled to a refund of bank charges. When I sounded a bit interested, the Asian chap called George told me I was entitled to £700 refund of charges. When I told the guy I have never been charged £700 by my bank he hung up. I suspect he was after my bank details.

Yup same happened to me tonight although it was sky asking if we wanted to 'renew' some payment protection thing, when i said i didnt have payment protection they hung up.

Beware orgers, theres some dodgy ppl out there!

there's always a new scam popping up, hopefully most people are aware of them now and know not to give out details no matter how convincing they are.

Just for the record, despite my healthy tan I am not the asian George who called you. Funny how they always have European names.

There's a really funny series of ads on our TV lately featuring a burly bloke in a hut in Siberia, handling customer service calls for a bank (any bank other than the one that made the ad, I suppose). On the phone he calls himself "Peggy".
