4 yearsGot a call from a woman with a foreign accent claiming to be from call blocker, she was trying to trick me into giving my bank info.4 yearsOver the last month, this number has called me a few times but whenever I answer, it’s either dead silent or just ends the call straight away. Sounds like some sort of call centre in the background.4 yearsTotal rip off!4 yearsJust hang up and block straight away, it’s the same old scam rubbish.4 yearsBEWARE OF SCAMS! If you get suspicious calls or messages, make sure to report them straight to the police fraud system. Just search ‘action fraud’ online and head to the ‘police.uk’ website. Find the section for ‘report a phishing attempt’ and take a moment to read all the info there. Then, put in the details of the scam, including any links or website addresses you got sent. You don’t need to sign up or give personal details. Reporting these incidents is really the only way the police learn how big the problem is and start taking action.Google4 yearsI keep getting calls every other day from a woman with a strange accent about insurance for my washing machine.
