That is a very old one. Ignore it. Your internet and landline will not be cut off.

Sorry Lynne

My fault I reported you for sending "those" pictures to me 😱

I've been involved in yet another accident ,careless me, and had great fun asking the real person at the other end "are you my mummy?" (Echos of doctor who came to mind) followed by "can you tell me where I left my toy car?"


Strangely they hung up .. most disappointed in the resilience and perseverance of these people

Funny that. I hadn't had a nuisance call for months until last week and so was caught off guard. "when you get home tonight have a long hard think about why you are encouraging people to commit fraud". I think that was one of my better answers. In the office once I said I'd put it on speaker phone so we could all here, but they hung up immediately.

This week I have had six virgin media router faults can they connect to my pc, one Amazon for an account owned by Cynthia, one EE we have a problem with your payment. That was a text and I later realised EE do send text?s but it?s always from 150 not another mobile number.


The EE one was problematic as I was concentrating on it whilst driving and went through a twenty mile an hour speed trap at 22 (on the speedometer so it was probably lower) and got flashed at. This was Sydenham Hill but will probably get three points and ?100.00 fine way out of proportion for the misdemeanour. I no longer find them funny.

One today saying that I had made a purchase of ?600 with my visa card!


Son in law's reply to the 'accident' scams is to say - i am glad you called, my Porshe was a complete right off and I suffered 2 broken legs, a spinal injury and broken hand., I was only grateful it was not the Rolls Royce that had been hit! The caller always puts phone down.

I'm now getting the next iteration of the Amazon prime renewal calls


It goes "You have spent ?399 pounds on your amazon order and your purchase will be dispatched soon. If you did not make this purchase press 1 to cancel."


Really can't wait to see what I bought, hoping it's at least something useful or frivolous like a drum kit so next time a spammer calla I can play my drums down the phone to them.😱

Brilliant

An hour ago my bank contacted me to say that there has been an attempt to withdraw money from my account on a new device.


On their instructions I transferred to a new account (I'm overdrawn so that's going to be interesting)


Half an hour later HMRC called as I owe them unpaid taxes, I gave them my new account details to do a direct debit from.


Curious to see if robbing scammer one to pay scammer two will work

..


for information I didn't really fall for it and no actual details were given out.

    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
