They hope you call back, possibly a premium number?

Re: scam calls

Just had one from this number 05130133540 sounded like a female robot, from Amazon Prime,,,about my outstanding account, I had to press 1 to speak to someone. I have never in my life bought anything from Amazon
I'm hoping it wasn't a robot, or my words will have been wasted on her.

Re: scam calls

I regularly block scam calls especially the Amazon Prime ones. Now they've changed tactics. They're using numbers that show up on my caller ID as being local calls (same dialling code as us) making it more difficult not to answer first.

What I wonder is: What happens if you hit 1 on your keypad?
You have suddenly been charged a lot of money by the scammers.

Don't do it!

Next time a caller sounds automated don't answer the question and remain silent....chances are it will carry on as though you have answered.....then you'll know if they are automated

Paula, any calls I don't recognise I use the . . . "Who Called Me' website:

https://who-called.co.uk/

Also, this one below has an Amazon Prime scam report..

Re: scam calls

I get lots of Emails inviting me to join in Sexual Orgies with nubile couples.
Why would anyone think a Grandma would be interested ?

However I do understand there are now various Web sites depicting Granny & Granda Sex!!

Blimey!! Not a pretty sight swinging naked from the chandlers. Especially with bodies in stages of atrophy.

I would rather have a nice cup of Tea and a Chocolate Eclair

Oh! I don't suppose you happen to have their email address, do you?
