I'm so tired of these things.

A woman called me earlier full of sympathy as apparently I had a car accident that wasn't my fault.

I said, yes, it was terrible. I died.

She hung up

I've had the same thing via email. I don't have amazon Prime.
Also the TV licence scam. Just ignore it.

Yes indeed - I have been getting one that tells me my phone and broadband are about to be cut off and to press one or two.

Apparently as soon as you press either you get locked into some sort of payments. I just put the phone down.

Yes this is one of many scams doing the rounds at the moment. Do not respond.

I'm pretty damn sure it's a scam. I get a recorded message from them too and I press the 'block' button on my phone blocker. Then they ring again in a few days from a slightly different number. The fact that neither of us have an account with Amazon is a dead giveaway.

I think it is Mal44. I've had the same calls and I do the same as you, put the phone down. I do have Amazon Prime and there's been no change to my account since these call started up.

Its annoying, isn't it?

Hi everyone
For the past three days I have received recorded telephone call supposedly from Amazon advising me that my Amazon Prime is about to expire and unless I press “one” my a/c will be debited with £39-99.
I have just put the phone down as I have never had Amazon Prime.Is this some kind of scam?
