Warning. Is this a scam?

On the same day this week I had a telephone call to say my national insurance number had been compromised - hung up. They never rang back! Also had an email from the tax office which I’m sure was a scam but it looked very convincing. Several months ago I had numerous phone calls in one week supposed to come from Amazon saying I hadn’t paid my subscription, again hung up each time. They are very persistent they must manage to con enough people

Definitely sounds like a scam. Be 100% wary of any phone calls you receive which ask for bank card/account details.

I've had a lot of dodgy calls since January, I think some new scam companies have bought electoral rolls, not sure how they also have our mobile numbers. Worrying isn't it. I remember speaking to a person from 02, or so I thought, until it got to the payment part, I said my husband paid for all of our contracts. The man asked for his details and I said I didn't know them - he said can you find his bank statement! Penny dropped and I hung up, luckily!

TPS is a free service so they wouldn’t have your card details.

Same opinion as vampirequeen.

I'm assuming but the TPS is about stopping unsolicited calls and this would be classed as one. Also they wouldn't ask for bank/credit card details over the phone.

Thank you VQ. Did you already know about it or, like me, just assumed? It’s concerning they had all my details. What a lot b.......rs they are!

Yes it's a definitely a scam.
