Had a call earlier today, the girl on the other end of the line talking about how i could have been mis-sold a lone, or as my credit card limit had been increased without me signing anything they could "write off the balance", she was quite good at small talk so i engaged for a bit (as she sounded quite fit).

The more serious point is she wanted upfront payment to start the ball rolling, i hung up at this point, i suspect it would have been for a very small amount but she would have had my bank details. 

I'm sure that there are not many on here as gulible as i nearly was but take care please

General rule of thumb here...

"Sounds fit on the phone? Add 5 stone..."

Pretty much tells it how it is - if she was attractive she would be front of office - clearly she ain't so she's relegated to selling over the phone...

With regard to the scammers... just tell them you have a Mac - the line soon goes dead
