Spam phone calls again
The Comments |
Not sure if this is what it seemed but thought I should post just in case - forewarned is forearmed! We had something similar a couple of years ago and I may have posted on it then.
While I was out this morning OH received a phone call from someone who purported not to speak any English, talking about a 'paquete' and (OH thought) something about the Cruz Roja. His first interpretation was that it might have been someone from our local medical centre called Paquita but on reflection the receptionists there both speak some English and in any event would have said they would call back later when I was at home if they weren't making any headway, and would not have referred to themselves as the Red Cross.
Then we remembered that a few years ago we and many others were victims of a scam whereby we were phoned by someone telling us that they there was a parcel waiting for us and we had to ring another number to arrange for delivery. This number was of course a premium number and they messed us about for 20 minutes before the penny dropped.
I am pretty sure that this is the same sort of deal as I tried to call back on the number they had called from and it just went straight through to muzak. This appeared to be a genuine number (987844500) but it clearly is not in use for incoming calls and certainly has nothing to do with our local medical centre
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
