"I've had a huge uptick in scam calls.
I used to waste their time.
Now I tell them exactly what I think of them. Ain't pretty."
I nearly got caught out by the 'Amazon' scam a month or so ago.
Called the landline (which I don't even know the number to) saying my account had been automatically renewed and £79.99 being taken from my bank account. To agree press 1, to cancel press 2.
I was just about to hit 2 in a panic coz the money I had in my account was for my phone bill waiting to be taken out when it hit me that I'd never have given my landline as contact coz I don't even know the fucking number!
I was moments away from losing money I really didn't have to lose. |

O yer I had the HSBC text and the HMRC phone call with the arrest warrant issued, along with a couple of others.
It's quite worrying when you first listen can understand how people are scammed. I always hang up and do a Google search for any new scams out there when I get something untoward.
Keep your wits about you people. |
