Claimed illegal use of BT phone - which I do not have.
Scam/Fraud
10 Jun 2024
Recorded message, claiming to be from "your bank" about 2 suspicious card payments, with option to press 1 to speak to fraud department. They do not identify which bank they are calling from, obviously that would reduce the number of people they could scam. We area business and our bank never calls our landline. Hang up & report them.
