Old Boggy Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 I don`t believe it. I`ve got a message left on my answerphone (sorry voicemail) saying that I`ve won £150000 and I`m to ring a certain number quoting my ticket number to claim my winnings. No doubt they will want my bank details to transfer the money. Considering I`ve not entered any competitions I consider myself very fortunate. Anyone else been as lucky ????

HW95J Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 I've had the extreme good fortune to be offered many free ipads online- who knew I was the millionth visitor each time! I'm also party to a great deal of 'weird tricks' that doctors just don't want me to know. Eventually, having gained both immortality and enough tablet computers to tile my roof with, I've had to start turning the offers down...

Rewulf Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Ya ha the luck o the devil , so you do ! On a more serious note, the latest scams are the paypal one still doing the rounds. A very official looking email, telling you that YOU have registered a new email address ,which you obviously havnt. Click here ect...Dont . The other one I get regularly is the phone call from America. Various numbers (I continually block them) will consistently call, DO NOT call them back ! They are £2 per minute premium lines, and will bill that from the first second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Get a phone with "call guardian" fitted - less than £30 on the Bay and it's a BT phone - bought ours about 2 years ago after receiving up to 10 calls a day - not one since .

Its ok , these are to my mobile, and I use true caller, which automatically blocks problem numbers, or ones I select. They keep changing the numbers though ! Always from various parts of the US.

spandit Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 You are the lucky ones. I only get told I've had an accident but when I ask them what they're wearing they just hang up on me ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I receive those calls telling me they understand I had been in an accident that I was not responsible for, I tell them that it definitely wasn't an accident - I rammed the ******* deliberately. 100% hang up rate (to date).

So she called them back "because it might be something important" and they just kept her talking, very nice friendly girl apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord O War Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 My mate was at an MOD site yesterday and believe it or not they get them as well. Chap there asks the caller how he got the number and does he realise that this number is monitored as it is a military site.....BEEEEEEEEEEEE lol. Guy there says it works every time. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
