Thanks for the warning Frankel they do seem to be targeting your number don't they,but as with the rest of these scammers they will pass the telephone around between them.Take care everyone is seconded by me.

I tried to post this message earlier but it didn't appear.

I just received a phone scam call suggesting that I can claim a pension bonus. It was quite a convincing recorded message from lady with a Welsh accent but an international phone number. It carries a Trading Standards warning (see below) so best to be aware for you and, maybe, elderly relatives.

As I was writing, I received another phone scam about an unspecified 'refund', this time from a (quite severe) lady with an English accent. If I don't act immediately, I lose part of my 'refund'. If I do, I will lose a whole lot more. These scams are getting more professional. Take care.
