I just had a phone call from a young foreign man claiming to be from Citizens Advice.
He asked to speak to me by name first off, then when I asked how he got my number, he claimed they had been contacted by credit agencies that I owed money to, and he was here to help me pay off my bad debts. I listened for a little bit longer and asked what the process was and he explained we would need to fill out a few details like bank details etc, at which point I started laughing un controlably.

Seriously how thick do these people think we are ??
 
He will find one - they always do.

A hundred failures but then he'll find one. B******
 
Seems our scam friends are upto their tricks again today.

Recieved a call today asking to speak to me by name. I said yes that is I and asked who they were. They said they were Natwest Master Card and that I am eligable for a Master Card and was I interested. I said yes sure entertain me, what do I need to do. They said I needed to give my bank details so they could run the final credit check.
At which point I laughed at matey and asked him if he thought I was thick or something. i'm almost 100% sure it was the same person as last time. I was able to do 1471 and get the number which I reported to both TalkTalk and Natwest.
 
:bow: Well done Evan, but there are idiots and the elderly who would give their details over the telephone. I hope they are able to catch the little swine.
