Scams

Just had a call from a man claiming to be from the Visa Verification, he said that my Visa had been used this afternoon to purchase £300 worth of goods from M&S was that me. I replied no and told him we are all wise to this scam now so he was wasting his time and I would check with my bank. He was very polite and replied yes check with your bank and rang off. I am waiting for a call from my bank I have already checked using the telephone number on my card and there is no transaction today. When will they see that they have overplayed this scam.

Plant, i know this scam has been going on for some time.
But, some do still fall for it.

I have had an automated call from so called BT for weeks now sometimes 3 times in a day, we have nothing to do with BT and we are ex directory , and I’ve lost my manual how to block the flipping caller such a nuisance

I think these scammers are pests - the lowest of the low, ready to steal from anyone. Well done Plant for telling him what a creep he is.

Qwerty - we keep getting the 'your internet will be terminated by BT today' scam!

[Enfys]

We do too!! Now I don’t answer the phone if I don’t recognise the number or if it’s not local. If it’s really important they can leave a message.

We get same thing , we don't even have BT

We do too, and we don't have BT.

Good for you for not being taken in by the credit card scam Plant. These people are evil.

Since before Christmas I have had several emails informing me that there is a problem with my last BT bill payment and I need to send my card details along with a sum of money ( can’t remember exact amount) to the link on the email or my broadband will be stopped within 24 hours.
Well it’s February and I’ve still got access to the internet.

I usually let numbers or names I don't recognize go to answer phone but this was a withheld number and I have a friend who has a withheld number.

I too, constantly get automated calls from BT. I just put the receiver down. I do sometimes wonder if I ever hang up on any REAL calls!

[Gemini]

I always put it down and leave it off the hook until they hang up, hoping to tie up one of their stupid phone lines for a short while.
