Hi evryone,
Dinnae know about down your way but loads of people i know have bin bombarded with cunnty emails, phone calls lately. Sadly my wee pals mum got sucked in by a call claiming ta be HMRC and handed over her bank details th daft old cow. It’s frightening how easily they can con vulnerable folk.
My maw got one of these yesterday. Told her ta just hang up. But actually she told em ta 'fucck off ya scamming tw@t'
Sadly there will be some folk who get ripped off by these basstards, so worth warning anyone vulnerable ye know its rife at th mo.
Cheers.
(Admin feel free ta move)

I received a call offering me a season ticket to Bristol Rovers. Telling me to join in the fun. I put the phone down.

I received a call from someone saying he'd build me a new stadium and had 12 World Class stadium consultants at his disposal.I asked him for more substantial details and he informed me he couldn't elaborate as there was a confidentiality clause.That was a long time ago so guess it wasn't genuine.

I received a call saying I owed the HMRC money and they would be sending a Police official around in 15mins as I had violated tax laws and ignored all communications. Did I laugh. He didn’t even use English terminology and I said I now have your number and will be reporting you to the fraud line and I think it might be you getting a police officer knocking on your door in 15minutes. He immediately hung up

I have noticed that both forums now show as “not secure” by the browser. I’ve had a lot of calls but, if not recognised, I just don’t answer. The banks do not always cover money lost and if you gave details then you could well be up the creek. Horrible barstewards
