Re: text scam
Worse still are what are at first thought to be scammers when in fact is my bank, who I have had an online account with for at least 15 years. They send me an e-mail giving all the positives of having an online bank account etc., etc. and it's time I should open one. Now why, you would be thinking, would a genuine bank be sending such e-mails even though the e-mail does have my postcode on it as a security feature? Well you would think they would at least not be sending those e-mails to those who already have an online account with them wouldn't you! But no, despite them having access and knowledge of those with existing online accounts they don't apply this to their stupid e-mails!Re: text scam
Your experience was so like mine. My partner booked a spa weekend at 23.59pm on Christmas Eve using our credit card. The company telephoned me saying their may have been a fraud activity on my credit account, and needed to ask me a couple of security questions and asked for the card security code number to prove who I was. I told them to urinate off. I called in my local bank branch and asked them to check. Apparently the call was legit. You cannot win - cant you !!Re: text scam
There is an excellent Website that I use to report scam numbers. I've had a couple recently, and have done reports on this Website. Mine are landline ones, I never get a text as my mobile is barely used. Also my Decor phone has a blocked number facility, so I stick them on there.
