Any scam calls

Probably had a fair few but seeing as I've never answered my phone to a number I've not got in my contacts I'll never know.
 
Just got one claiming that my revolut card has been charged €79 to Amazon Prime. Only thing is, I don't have a Revolut card, and I don't remember ever being in contact with Amazon Prime. Just hung up on them without saying anything.
 
Just had a scam call that I've not had before. They were enquiring about my reported damp problem in the house and offering to come and fix it. They wanted Housing Association details and to wanted to send me reports via WhatsApp. Kept them going for 20 mins or so with just made up details to see how it went on.

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.

It's not Peter Kay trying to sell you a job lot of garlic bread is it?
 
I usually just hang up and block the number but I had one a while back and decided to have a laugh. It was an Indian fella and he was telling me he was from Microsoft and needed to fix my computer.

I told him ok. I really needed it because of all the online dating websites I use. Then I asked him if he had a sister who might be looking for a husband. He laughed and said, "No. I don't have a sister."

I replied, "That's ok. I'm not terribly particular. Maybe you and I could get together and you can be my new wife?"

He told me to fuck off and hung up on me. :)
 
One doing the rounds at the moment...

Withheld number, British accent reporting that they are from your bank & have all of your personal information.

Ask you about a transaction that they have temporarily blocked (it's a dummy transaction you obviously haven't done), when you deny any knowledge, they say that they will block your card and send a new one to you.

They then talk you through the "get cash" feature on your mobile banking and instruct you to follow instructions to "activate a code" incase you need it. The trick is they ask you for the code that you should present to the cash machine in order to put it on the system to activate, only you don't need to do this so they use the code immediately and withdraw the cash themselves.

Very believable to anyone who might not be clued up on it.
 
Just had a text through short while ago...from the DVSA ( I got done 59 in 50mph limit 3 weeks ago, I chose the course and checked payment made of £88.00 ) They are acussing me of long term delinquecy and I will be required to pay more in the future, their words......Open the link below etc etc. Thanks you for your co operation.
If it is a scam which I'm fairly sure it is, how did they get my number and how did they know my conviction details. Cheeky twats.

Similar from DVSA. The car I don't own has just lost it's licence and I need to pay to give my car it's licence back.

Yes, you read that correctly.
