Scam/Fraud
05 Apr 2023
They will keep calling and indicating that you are owed some money invested last year or any previous years and that that company is now no longer running and they want to return your funds back to you. 1) No funds were invested with such a company. 2) They ask for your credit card detail, bank details so that the money can be transffered back into your account. 3) They cannot send you a cheque, which I requested and send to my home address on their system. So do not pick up any call from this number or any number which begins with 0203996XXXX. Scam call.
