Scammers!!    Nasty,  evil, hateful scammers!    Anger smiley 31

I've had  TWO  trying their luck today.

1. One on the phone telling me my loft insulation needs replacing.

2. Then another one in my emails pretending to be from Tesco, and telling me to claim thousands of Club Card points.

So beware folks.

Not heard of the Tesco one, but have had phone call ones about the house. I always tell them it's rented. If they ask for the owners phone number I give them the local housing association for Thurso. :grin:
Yeah bad of me I know. :yahoo: BUT😆 😆 😆

If I don't recognise a number I don't answer.  I figure if they're genuine they'll leave a message.  Those phone scammers are a scourge.
Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

Same with me. I know the doctor's will use a witheld number and about when they will call. A lot of the rest even get identified by the phone as a potential scammer. The question is why won't the phone companies just block these known scam calls? Oh silly me I forgot - they get a payment for calls that go through.

The silly thing is, Granny,   I don't usually  pick up for a strange  number either,  but I was expecting a couple of calls,  so just for a split second, and without thinking,  I picked up.
That'll teach me ey.   :rolleyes:

You listen to them too long. If you do pickup in error it takes seconds to recognise you don't want to talk so don't just hang up. It's impossible to be rude to an unsolicited caller whatever you say or do

I never fall for it usually Klondy,  show's what can happen when,  just for a minute,  we're not thinking.
I just interrupted him and said I wasn't interested, and put the phone down.   Then blocked the number and deleted it.

I don't think I have missed anything important..
