theses SCAMS ARE A BLOODY PAIN Today i got a call from someone claiming to be from the general county court London they told me that a claim i maid in 2009 to retrieve money that the banks had taken in charges since i don't remember doing that alarm bells started ringing in my head
will they tell me that I have £3450 to claim and some one was going to bring the cheque to me at 2.30 today and that person would company me to the bank to make sure the cheque gets cashed ok
and there would be a £100 charge for legals fee's which they wanted a u cash voucher the gave me alot of access numbers and codes got a return call telling me to go get the voucher told then i could not go get it then they got a little arrogant when i told them i had spoke to the police and consumer people and well as calling the court in London end of call i said post the cheque and i will forward payment and said goodbye with a slam of the phone if they were genuine they would have called back ..... more to the point if they were genuine they would have sent a letter to me asking me to contact them
anyway

That's worse than the one were they ring you up saying they ate from Microsoft and they need to access your computer, They really have some front trying to rip you off on the phone, sending an email is bad enough but actually trying to talk you on the phone and do it grrrrrrrr they need stringing up My mums 47 tommorow chrissie, now that is old

That's the thing that worries me about these scam emails, my mums not old (well she is pretty old at 46) and she's far from dim she's a teacher but I know that If recieved this email without me warning her she would more than likely click the link and fill in the scam form, You better be careful with quotes like pretty old at 46 > Costa Del Oldham isn't too far away to give young Curtis a good old fashioned smack round the back of the napper
