Biggles Posted February 15, 2013 CID Share Posted February 15, 2013 Roco Scammed ? Roco Scammed ? Well being the local wise guy , I came close I got a phone call mid lunch ( traditional UK Cod and chips) With a new honey, I took the call outside in the garden . in case it was a winging ex , Well sure my house insurance was due , I had about a dozen letters offering me a better deal, most offering to cut the price by £200 , that made me laugh as I pay £150 I figured they would owe me £50 , ( LOL ) I took the call and renewed my existing house insurance , Gave out all my card details , 1/2 listened to the details , Went back to my near cold lunch then thought on , ( I had given out my card details on a incoming – phone call ,) I tried ring back , not listed , I went into panic mode and phoned my card company . Indeed the insurance payment had been taken by a recognised UK insurance broker And nothing else , sigh of relief from me , I figure I narrowly avoided wallet burn , but it sure wrecked the day Damm, and I thought I was smart guy, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted February 15, 2013 CID Share Posted February 15, 2013 Think of it this way , your intuition would have saved you had you sensed something during the call. Pgoodwin1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pgoodwin1 Posted February 15, 2013 CID Share Posted February 15, 2013 I trust "phone strangers" even less than "email strangers". The scams in email these days though are so ridiculous they're humorous to read. I inherit millions every day. The ones that post copies of legitimate banks' websites are the scary ones.
