Other than the usual, discrepancy on my Amazon card, haven't got one and a couple relating to HMRC payments, no.

Got one off "Amazon" about an odd transaction for an iphone 13.
I just asked "what the fuck would I want an iphone for?" Then I mentioned they might be trying to scam me and asked if they would like to fuck off.
I get one from "Virgin" every so often about my internet speed not being very stable and usually string them along for a while until I get bored.

A woman at work lost everything last week.

Recently moved house & was having problems with Virgin broadband that she'd reported to them...

Gets phonecall from "Virgin media" asking her about her issues & instruct her to download a signal checker app on her mobile phone to allow them to check signal in all parts of house. Was on the phone to them for 1.5hrs whilst they performed what she thought was legitimate checks.

Maxed her £9k credit card out, took her life savings and all the money for the house renovation.

Luckily, she's got the majority back from bank/credit card company...police and fraud squad said it's an inside job, staff in the Indian call centre @ virgin media selling on customer details who are having problems, to fraudsters based in India.

No but I made one to HM Government pretending I wanted to pay my tax bill. They gave me account details and I have been able to drain a million quid from the public coffers

Virgin telling me my broadband is flakey and car phone warehouse who never get beyond telling me who they are before they are told to fuck off.

Last one I had was ‘about my accident’ from within the last 2 years. I said I died in the accident and he was speaking to my ghost, then hung up

I've been getting 2/3 calls a day from an unrecognised number that's changing the last 3 digits daily meaning I can't block it. I've never answered it and never will but a quick Google of the number suggests its some scam based in Bolton. No idea how they've got my number which is the main concern. They'll give up calling me before they ever get me to answer it. its not really that much of a problem in truth my phone just vibrates for 20 seconds a few times a day whilst I ignore it. If anything, it makes me seem more popular than I am.
