Well and truly a scam. I'm onto the Fraud line.
SCAMMER rang Bournemouth accusing relative of doing something unlawful etc. SCAM.
Phoned my landline, left a voice message saying there were some suspicious transactions on my card to Amazon and an international money transfer. Couldn't tell who they were as they started talking before the voice mail kicked in. SCAM.
SAME AS OTHERS HAVE COMMENTED.
Another call about two transactions on ‘my card’, one to Amazon & one for an international money transfer. Unfortunately, my voicemail lost the first few seconds of the message so I didn’t hear the bit that indicated which bank they were pretending to be from.
Same as above....
message left to say my card (but not which one) had been used for two unusual transfers one to Amazon £600 and one international money transfer and to press 1 to connect to adviser. This is a scam
