Phone Scammers

[youngsingle]

Yep, a bit unfortunate, but these scammers are a way of life now. Just have to make sure you take precautions like a credit card with fraud protection - https://www.moneymaver.com/the-power-of ... nt-option/

I've been getting 2-4 spam calls a day on my mobile for a year or more now - vast majority are in Chinese (I think it's the embassy we are deporting you scam)
I've blocked the numbers and deleted them but they still keep coming
It's doing my head in.
Tried the free version of Hiya without success, so have just resorted to silencing unknown calls and sending them straight to voicemail.
It still means I have to check/delete them but at least I'm not disturbed

I had a scam call from someone the other day informing me that they were aware I had a car accident and offering help.

Having just sat down with a cup of coffee, I asked them how they could help and made up a load of nonsense to the questions for about 5 mins. All was going well until he asked the extent of my injuries. When I told him I had died as a result so would expect a high level of compensation, he hung up.

Calls can be annoying but they can be fun at the right time.

The scam calls have continued as expected- the Multiple calls from “Beneficial” most Annoying.
I have just had a call from someone telling me that they could help me with my debt !

They asked about my level of debt so I told him £1.5 millions

He hung up!

If its my mobile, I never answer any calls unless the number is in my phone book so I know who's calling and never answer the landline

Unless he is a hitman and your debt will be gone upon your murder

Hitman….? For Ronk…??

I think we’ll start on the foreigners blighting our shores before we start on homegrown chappies….
