Another scam today

Posted by Stan Wears on January 26, 2021, 10:48:16

Today I received a call all from a security company informing me that money had been illegally taken from my bank account and to find out how much etc please press 1. I put the phone down and got the number from 1471 then telephoned my bank only to find it's a scam as the number begun 047 and it was a mobile. It sounds so genuine so be very careful

i got a scam from royal mail this morning,saying they came with a parcel and there was no-one in,there is always someone in, so beware,they can only be looking for your details.

Usually it's a company called Parcel Delivery Service who scam. They tell you to ring them to arrange a time to deliver.

Get yourselves a BT 4600 phone and you will never get another unwanted call from anyone
When I spoke to BT about the amount of scam calls I was getting they advised me to get one of these phones.I have had one now for 9 months and never had one scam call.
