Re: Cold calls from "UK Today"

We've had all of those Amos, off and on. The calls from the international computer repairers stopped for a bit after I said the person they were after had recently died and pretended to be all distraught. One of them did, though, have the cheek to ask if probate had been granted yet and who the new homeowner was going to be!!

Town: Ashton

Re: Cold calls from "UK Today"

Had the usual Indian sounding chap cold call about my supposed computer problems just the other day. I passed the phone to my daughter who chatted with the man for a good 5 minutes. Seemed to make his day as was nice and nattered to her.

Also seemed to get a bogus paypal message saying I owed £29.99 for Skype charge. Click this if an error etc...Looked legit to start off with so no doubt folk will be caught out by this scam. Trust nothing in an email.
