scams
reading about scams every day, i thought it would be a good idea to share how we were scammed, or heard about someone who was . we always think we are careful but daily some one falls in a trap. so do put your or some one else's misfortune for others to learn a lesson and be careful. you need not give your personal details.
i regularly received phone calls on the landline, the person said some people had taken control of my computer. i said i had no problem. the calls kept coming. i asked someone in citizens advice bureau and was told i could report it to phone 555(police non urgent) So next time i told the person i had this police phone number and would report him. the calls stopped. the phone number showed they came from london but the person had a south asian accent.
i regularly get phone messages to say i have not paid my speeding ticket fine, road toll fee, and to click on a link.
another scammer - i often order gifts on line for family in australia. i got messages on my phone to say the supplier had to cross a border and had to be paid a custom fee and to click on the link. i took it up with the big organisation with whom i had placed the order, on their chat line, that this only happened for australia. they said they would look into it but i got no feedback.
