View Full Version : Has Any One Had a Call Like This ?
Today my wife had a phone call from someone she cant remember the firm he claimed to be from or his name only that he had a south Scotland accent. He asked her if she was bothered by pest calls. He claimed he could stop these calls for a fee of £1 20 per month payable by direct debt. He then asked for bank details and she laid the phone down. I doubt if this could be genuine and has any one else had a call like this.
Heard a few people are getting calls like this and asking for up to £8 for the "service."
At least one of them reported to the Police and they are dealing with it. Seems it's a con.
Worth remembering - You should never give your bank details over the phone to a stranger.

You can register for free with the Telephone Preference Service to stop marketing calls: http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/index.html
if he makes enough calls he will get someone to pay and the calls will stop. simple.
I am registered with them but I still get them.
Yup, had this one as well as the chap from the fraud department. And a multitude of hang up calls from international numbers. Poor pets are suffering from jangling nerves with phone ringing.
This was in the paper last week.police were warning people about it
