I had one this morning and I rang my credit card company. I didn't give the scammers any details thank goodness.x

Yes, phone rang yesterday , picked up and knew scam as delay, so slammed down phone before any talk. Did 1471 and yes, international tel.no. so rang BT and call centre could see actual no. on his screen , so blocked it. BT said can see last 20 call no.s made to me on their screen.

By the way : how are you finding the Biologics Sylvi ?

Due to other health problems I have not started them. Have existed with mtx and codeine and paracetamol since November. Looking to start them soon when the apt. comes through.xxxx

Recent scams purporting to be from:

1. BT

2. VISA transaction RISK £600 going overseas

3. Suspending ISP due to illegal activity

4. BT

I don’t have a BT service so I just make a note of the phone number calling. I’ve yet to see a number repeat so the scammers must be skilled in rapidly changing theirs!

I had no.2 for the same amount when you say no they go like lightening off the phone and have contacted my bank and they know about it.xxxx
