Just had a telephone call from the booking office (trains).
A woman with a well spoken English accent confirming my purchase of a travel ticket ..
She quoted destination and cost..
 'If this is not you ,please press one to put you through to the Visa fraud department'

She sounded so convincing... I feel for those who are not quite on the ball when it comes to scam calls..
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

We have to be so careful nowadays, how many older folk might not think and just press one  :downvote:

I'm so very suspicious of unknown phone numbers that I mostly let it go to voicemail. If it's important and I don't think it's a scam I phone straight back, If I'd got the call about the train ticket ect I'd have opened my banking app and checked right away, I always always know what's what with my accounts and would see at once if anything was different.
Scams are one of my obsessions and I'm always alert for them.
