vodaphone calling.

You just have to have enough common sense to realise what is scam and what isn't.

 

Brilliant!! Had a call last week from a firm saying my house had been chosen for a free alarm system, the surveyor is in the area now so can he come and see what system will be required......

Absolute class Mick, did you give him next doors address and sit out with a pint ??

I had a call from Virgin yesterday, the first thing he said was "for security purposes what is your password?"

 

I mean come on!!

 

 

Now surely that deserves a little award in being the laziest and most pathetic why to try and scam someone.

 

I hope you gave them a right ticking off and that they must try harder next time.

 

 

Oh and just so I know its you I'm replying to can you send me your bank/credit card details and pin number so I can verify you please?

 

Shows you though they must catch loads of people out with these calls.

OMG! I was at my mums one day a month or two ago and she got a phone from an Indian/Pakistani sounding bloke saying he was calling from "her" bank and he needed her sort code and account number to locate some money they owd her!!! She looked puzzled so i asked what was up and she said it was the bank. So i took the phone and asked them to prove this and when he couldnt i verbally tore him a knew one. Scary cos some old dear on her own like my mum might have given that info out! I hate em...

i had this a couple of weeks ago, just told him we already had one fitted so it would be pointless.

Should have done lol.

 

I told him he could come round but he'd have to excuse the mess as I was right in the middle of cleaning my bayonet collection.....
