Having had a spate of spam/silent/robo calls over the last month, I no longer answer the landline, My friends and family use my mobile number. I just let it ring and note down the number, Which is likely false anyway.
They called 14 October 2019.
Indian male claiming to be from the TPS offering scam call blocking. This guy had my name, Phone number and address so it's pretty unnerving, Scammer gone rogue from a big company with out details again I guess. When he started pushing for card expiry details to check direct debit it made NO sense and I hung up. Definitely fishing for more details.
Said they were from call prevention services, Name James XXXXX ID no JO24Y, Had asian accent, Said they could stop all marketing calls just needed me to confirm my Card details were 'same as he had on system', But wouldn't tell me what he had on system--- what a surprise!! Wanted me to read out card details without actually telling me what the costs were etc.. Obviously he hung up when I told him my card said Mickey Mouse on it.. Haha
