Track & Trace scams?

There is some concern that Track & Trace is being used, by scammers, to get your personal info.

A phone call, from an unknown number, is not the safest way of approaching contacts, in these scammer days.

Hopefully there will be a safer method of contacting "contacts" in the near future.

Anybody phoning me and they are not known to me (caller display) will always get the same answer #### off!! Usually though, the answer filter is on and that will tell all callers to call my mobile and if they do not know that carefully guarded number, then obviously they are not known to me. The trouble with wire broadband is a landline essential and with that line comes a landline number open to anyone with another phone line and a random dialler setup usually used by scammers.
