You're located Mr Mellors. We Google mapped "Pigeon Heaven, Leicestershire" and couldn't find it so your attempt at tax evasion by giving a false address didn't work. Now we can trace you.....

Clodhopper Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 On Tuesday I received a message saying that there suspicious activity relating to my HSBC account and that I should call this number right away. It was indeed suspicious as I don’t have an account with that bank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s got to be a billing adress for the line and details for the money to be paid so could easily be stopped by the phone company if they wanted to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wascal Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Why does "DAVID from Dehli" think ringing me at 12:30am will induce me into buying something from him! Luckily we have a call blocking unit and the calls are sent silently to the answer phone . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discobob Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 When I had been done by Identity Theft - and when my account was supposed to have extra safeguards on it - the bank still allowed a new DD to be set up for BT. I already had an account with BT which was sub £30, this new one was near £200!! I contacted BT with the account number - it turned out that they were providing services to a place on the edge of Manchester (seedy looking place at that) - I told them to close the account and I wanted the money back - the girl from Bangalore went No- your not the account holder!! The irony of the situation was that I was sat in BT's offices in North Star in Swindon at the time. I went to the bank and they done a charge back as BT hadn't followed the DD processes for validating an account apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Just had a man on from Amazon. He said he just wanted to validate the £30 voucher. I asked if he was born a liar or had taken lessons. He hung up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
