[Claymores]

I got a call to the landline yesterday evening asking to speak to Mrs [insert my surname]. This was already a little wierd as I'm not married, but I just answered that she was not around.

The bloke then said "It's in relation to your Sky Billing, can I just discuss it with you?". Double wierd as I discontinued with Sky over 2 years ago and have been with cable ever since.

I told the bloke to effing ram-it, but I'm wondering if his next line would have been akin to the spams we all get that they're having trouble with the monthly payments and could I reconfirm the credit/debit card info 'we'd' given them in order to avoid any interruption to service !!!

Just a reminder to folks to be as wary of cold-calls asking for personal/financial info as of the (sometimes hamfisted, sometimes convincing) spam emails we all receive.
