Default These Scammers are getting worse !

Has anyone had any stupid calls claiming to be from the internet provider threatening to cut them off due to "illegal activity " or "not paying bills" or something?? , They try to get your information and try to redirect you to the scammer's computer.

We just hang up straight away, found out the sneaky eff heads are using multiple different numbers/mimicking genuine numbers. And kept redialling and harassing people . There was even an Amazon scam aswell that tried ringing .

my mum got an amazon one today but she hung up and called me, she knows to put phone down on any company and call me, no matter who it is.

They're getting more sneaky , they have the option of the automatic voice telling people to dial 1 to go through to "customer services" , but really it's through to the main scammers who will try and get your details.

This is why so many old people get scammed, they sadly fall for these tricks and it makes me angry .

the penalties should be hand removal by axe, and i am not joking. If you are the head of a company that does that then I would advocate amputation in public
