Got one of those automated calls claiming to be from “bank security” - but never says which bank! If they actually named a real bank, maybe they’d be a bit more convincing with their scam. They told me there’d been “suspicious activity,” like a £300 charge from Amazon and another £1100 from some overseas payment, then insisted I’d “never used those services before.” Really? Saying I’ve never shopped on Amazon? You’d have to be living under a rock in the UK to believe that! Shame it was an automated voice - I’d have loved to give them a proper piece of my mind!

Got a call from someone saying they were from ‘Bank Payments’, asking me to approve payments for two invoices from firms I’ve never dealt with before. They mentioned amounts of £300 and £1000. It quickly felt dodgy when I realised my bank doesn’t even have a department like that! Still, the woman sounded really convincing with her posh English accent, so no wonder some might fall for it.
