Title: Telephone Scammer Post by: Nomoreheroes on Friday, April 26, 2013, 13:15:00 Just received a call from a foreign sounding lady on 01142 360311. She told me she was from my 'Broadband provider'. Really annoyed that I gave it away that I knew it was a scam before I could have some fun. Anyone fancy calling her to scam her back?

Just realised that my post looks as if its a scam itself! It was the number that I got from 1471 - Maybe I'd better just delete the thread.

So not foreign. They just talk like that up there. Title: Re: Telephone Scammer Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, April 26, 2013, 13:44:25 The 0114 dialling code covers Sheffield. So not foreign.

A quick Google search of the number suggests it's a scam Title: Re: Telephone Scammer Post by: Nomoreheroes on Friday, April 26, 2013, 14:49:09 I know it was a scam! I just didn't want the folks from the TEF thinking I was trying to scam them by making up a scam...Does that make sense?...I'll get my coat!
P.S. It was an Eastern European accent. |
