LATEST Scam ?

Unread post by Ray Scully »

"Had Amazon phoned today saying my 55" telly was being delivered today, DID NOT ORDER, Amazon supervisor (whatever) phoned back to explain he would cancel order, delivery address was in Liverpool, I live in East Midlands, said he would put me through to my banks fraud squad, within 2 seconds, supposedly bank fraud squad asked my card details, refused to give them and he hung up, phoned Amazon direct and they had no record of tv order from me. Just want to warn people, do not give anyone your details, bank will not ask for them only your latest transactions, be very careful this Christmas"

Yes - do all be careful - I received an email from Apple telling me I owed them £35 for Netflix which I had ordered on my iPhone - don't have an iPhone, never dealt with apple and don't have Netflix - needless to say I deleted the email!
