O/T Tax Scam

O/T Tax Scam

Postby Christies Child » Wed Mar 09, 2016 1:09 pm

Just received an International call claiming to be from the UK Tax Authorities. Asked the caller to quote my NI Number as proof of where he was from...... :twisted:

Funny how the line went dead all of a sudden. :lol: :lol: :lol:

On a more serious note my mother who is 95 also got a similar call asking for her Bank details. Fortunately she got the sense to put the phone down on the caller. BUT I wonder how many elderly people are conned into passing over such info unaware of the scam.

:?: :?: :?:

Scams for sure.

Also ignore any emails saying Tax refunds are due if bank details are given.

And ignore also any emails which make reference to a wealthy relative in Nigeria who has passed away and since their passing it has been discovered that they were a Prince or Princess and have lots of money to leave in their will to you......!!
