I never use the given phone number on these scams, I always contact the provider directly.

I was told that some firms ( illegally) sell on card details which have been used for legal purposes . Scams are so easy to fall for and there are few if any ways to get the money back. Action Fraud just records the crime and does nothing else

I've had 3 similar emails purporting to be from different restaurants in Australia, it's all nonsense of course, don't fall for ir, it would be easy to do if you were distracted

Thank you for making us aware of this scam.

put yourself at risk!

HI,

it's safer to look up Opodo's number independently then verify with them. Sometimes they do strange things with the phone, plus these people are expert at convincing you they are who they say they are. So better to not put your

I had a text on my phone with Goverment heading including crown symbol saying that I could receive £300 heating help. Form was pretty much being auto filled as I went along and then the trick statement was I needed to pay a 'token' £1 just to verify my card was authentic and that it would be refunded within 5 days. I reckon many people may be fooled by this. Hope not.....

Yet another disgusting, scheming, underhand method to get information from unsuspecting individuals

Good thing that your OH was clued up enough to NOT give his details and thank you for sharing.........let's get GNetters aware of this latest scam.
