Telephone SCAM

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Watch out for this one.

I was called today by a company called Dolphin International London

they said they were government approved and I had been chosen to get a device which when plugged into my power supply would reduce my costs by up to 45%.

The worrying thing was they had more of my personal details than I am happy for anyone to have, including the first 4 digits of my card.

they asked that I take out my card and confirm the rest of the numbers.

I refused and accused them of scamming and the guy said they had to check that it wasn't a stolen or lost card.

I told him to "go away".

Trading Standards, my bank, my power co and police informed.

BE ON YOUR GUARD, he nearly got me.

Thanks for the timely warning. It may save someone from losing money

I've heard about this lot. Their product doesn't do anything.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.
