You do realise you've just shown your caring side don't you

[1964white]

We've had a few calls already

Where there's money these fraudsters are preying on the vulnerable

Just put the phone down, don't return a call to the tw*ts

I would love to tell these criminals verbally to do one, unfortunately I can't

My 90 year old Mum and Dad keep getting an automated voice saying it's from Amazon and that £79 has been taken out of their account, leaving a number to call back on. First time it happened Dad rang his bank and was assured that nothing had been taken. He doesn't answer the phone now to numbers he doesn't know.

Yeah, I've had a couple of these before I was even signed up to Amazon Prime. Even though the call was automated it gave me great pleasure telling it to go and f**k itself before hanging up.

I've been getting those for the last couple of years till we started only answering numbers we recognise...anyone else can leave a message

[Muppet the Cat]

It's only since been predominantly working from home that I realise how many of these calls we get.....usually 2, 3 or 4 a day.

I've just given up answering the house (landline) phone now

[The Subhuman]

We get 5/6 on a bad day, my favourite is who is the business owner of the BT line..We don't have a BT line but we get the call 4//5 times a week or did...As I say, don't know the number, let it ring

[Velotrax]

I also get crank calls from my bank wanting their money back ......

[Lorimer46]

I've had a couple of calls tell me that my prime membership is about to expire, problem is I've never had one , also had a few emails about McFee cyber security again I've never had anything to do with them . You need to be on your guard these days there's so much of this S***e about it's understandable that some folks can be caught out

[HarryofOz]

Like others, I only answer calls from my contact list.

Scammers here have gone the other way. Telling people that the authorities have discovered that they have defrauded the tax system and that they owe $XXXX which can be paid using iTunes cards.

I know mate, not sure how many people fall for it, but some must do for so much of this crap to be going on.

My wife saw something similar here but it was Amazon gift vouchers.
