SCAM warning
- Phelim (23rd Aug 2016 - 09:28:01)
In the last few days my aunt who lives near Liss was subject to a scam. She received a call that claimed to be from British Telecom saying that as she is over 75 she is entitled to free call blocker. When she said she already had it the caller said that he did not think it was working properly and that someone would need to come out and look at it but, as they were very busy, he didn't know when someone would be able to come so what days would be inconvenient because she would be out. Someone then suddenly turned up two hours later, smartly dressed but not in a BT uniform and without proper ID.
My aunt has spoken with BT and this has nothing to do with them so she was advised to get in contact with the police. This appears to be very new as BT had not heard of this scam. The police have also been told (my aunt is also going to the local papers).
Please be aware that this is going on and let elderly relatives know.
