Ashz09 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If you're wanting to leave virgin you speak to an english person. If you're wanting to talk in general or your internets ****** and going slow you get sent to a indian who's favorite phrase is 'Sorry I can understand your frustration Sir let me look into this for you'. 1 hour later still lagging and disconnecting and all on there end is ok, there is no need for an engineer! Pfffttt touch wood I've not had a problem for a while now thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a theory that I get them because my email address is quite generic so I probably make the list a lot for blanket spam distribution. Picture a young and beautiful 'glenda' on the end of one of them chatlines. ? Mind you, it's all live streams nowadays, so you can see who you're wa..talking to.

A quick search of the 'who called me' sites reveals that it is a premium rate number where basically all they will do is place you on hold, at about £5a minute.

Bridgford Ram Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 These sort of scams really bother me, I am reasonably savvy and feel at risk. My wife and boy less savvy but then at the other end of the scale there are old people who must fall for these all the time. Efforts really need to be made to crack down on this sort of thing in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketteringram Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Received an email yesterday, allegedly from PayPal, talking about suspicious activities on the account. As far as I'm aware, I don't even have a PayPal account. Then I was wondering if it was something I'd set up years ago and forgotten about. So I tried logging in, not via the email, and it seems I don't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him that I doubted this but he insisted that it was going to be switched off in half an hour. I then told him that I didn't have a BT line but it didn't seem to interrupt his spiel. I told him to f*** off, and blocked the number. I can strongly recommend a Callblocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
