Blackpowder Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Three calls to mobile this weekend , two from mobiles and one from landline telling me that various sums twice £399 and once £999 was being deducted from my account and please press 1 to halt this. I did not press 1 and first call I checked with my bank and all was in order. Should I have pressed 1 what would have been the outcome.

tonker Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Mine's been the crime investigation dept, and some other police department can't tell you which one as I hung up but both this morning. As I run a business I tend to answer mobile numbers as could be new customers. They are using mob numbers now rather than Manchester/ Liverpool/Bradford numbers for that very reason I reckon.

Pushkin Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 We got a call on our landline this morning purporting to be from BT. Rang to tell us that as our phone bill was in huge arears unless I pressed button ? immediatley our phone and our internet access would be disconnected immediately. I burst out laughing at the rather plummy sounding female who was on the call. I did not tell her we had not been with them for over 5 years now. She hung up when I laughed.
