Scammers are spoofing bank phone numbers to rob victims
It can be a very convincing trick… “You can check the number in your display online sir. You’ll see I’m really calling from your bank.” That is, of course, if you are unaware that phone numbers can be spoofed. Then again, they wouldn’t be successful scammers if they weren’t convincing. If you suggest calling them…
Scammers.
Funny how these scam calls hit my land line straight after submitting a line fault to British Telecom! Looks like some staff in BT foreign call centers and BT online chat etc, work for these scammers. Gave my mobile to BT online chat person as an alternative to landline, due to a line fault and started receiving scam PPI calls minutes later. Never had mobile scam calls before then.
