Please be aware of a telephone scam which is doing the rounds at the moment vulnerable and elderly people are being targetted.
The Caller says he is a BT rep and demands immediate payment due to an
unpaid bill, requests are made for payment details over phone, when challenged
the caller pretends to cut the line, very convincing but this is a scam.
If targetted do not attempt to use your phone for approx 10 mins as this
caller mimics line being cut for a few minutes in order to persuade target
that it is a genuine call.
ALSO be wary of any company claiming to fit security alarm systems for £1. This is a genuine fitting cost but the catch is in the maintenance costs which are high.
