2 yearsThey tried to convince my 85 year old mother in law that her council personal alarm was being discontinued and needed replacing. None of it was true! She ended up signing up to a direct debit for £39.99 each month. Such a low blow, pushing that hard on elderly pensioners like that - it’s awful.2 yearsYou should contact the bank straight away to halt those payments and warn them about any more fraud attempts. The scammers probably have her bank details now, so your mother-in-law might get targeted by fraudsters pretending to be from her bank, trying to drain her account. These fraudsters are really skilled. Also, make sure you report the incident to Action Fraud. You can find their website online where you can fill out a report for the victim. Just a heads up, avoid ringing 0300 123 2040 unless you want to, as the call isn’t free and could cost a fair bit.WITHOUT DELAYUKAction Fraud3 yearsMy mum, who’s quite elderly, got a call from this number. The person on the line kept pushing her to get a new phone, saying her current one was out of date. Even after she told them she wasn’t interested, they wouldn’t back off. She insists she didn’t share any payment info, but as she’s got early signs of dementia, I can’t be 100% sure. It’s awful because her number’s registered with the TPS, yet these nuisance calls just keep coming. Total scam, best to just block and ignore them completely.Telephone Preference Service3 yearsAn older relative arranged a direct debit thinking it was for the alarm system they were already using, but it turned out to be for a different one altogether. They’re quite vulnerable, so this caused quite a bit of confusion.3 yearsThey really pressured my elderly mum, which didn’t seem right at all. They asked for her card info over the phone too - definitely dodgy. Watch out for anyone calling from ‘Secure line ltd’.Secure Line LtdSubmit Your Own Report (0800 689 0426)
