Scam/Fraud
09 Jun 2022

I received call few times from the same number regarding completely different things each time..once loan advice,once depth management and now vaccine Compensation but what is same on every call your bank and personal details for some upfront cost which is absolutely stupid and a interesting thing is they are based in India as I have track them down and 1000000% I’m sure they are using some contact’s here to reach black web and database but please stay away and if you feel only just a touch that can’t be right is because that’s can’t be right…if it is go good to be true is because it is..

Someone with an Indian accent asked if I was vaccinated- no idea why anyone would do that so assumed it was a scam and hung up.
