Run that past me again,

[Baldric]

Just received a 'phone call, concealed number, Indian accent, asked for me by name, I said he'd got the wrong number, he asked for me again by name and I told him no-one of that name here,
He then told me he had a refund of an overcharge on my credit card for me, despite me denying being me, and if I could give him my Bank account details he would arrange payment for me.
I thanked him for his efforts but declined his offer as I don't have a credit card, I didn't actually tell him that though, and hung up.
He's rung me twice more since then, the amount of the refund has gone up both times.
Think this might just be a scam, don't you?

Just a bit, Baldric.

I always ask them if their family is proud that they make their living by telling lies...

[Ratty2E]

Almost certainly.

Nice one Mark, do you mind if I use that line?

[MarkRae]

Of course not!

or to really naff them off, say "just one second please", then wander off to watch TV/make a brew/whatever. See how long they hang on for :-)

A loud plastic whistle sits by the phone and is very handy

You should have said your Name was David Cameron, 10 Downing street, Baldric

[Smowball]

I would have asked him to just send me a cheque! lol

[gness]

I keep a bosun`s whistle by the phone for silent or annoying calls. Friends identify themselves very quickly.

I have gone to the bother of getting the numbers of the letters from the alphabet A=1 B =2 and so on I have a little answer so give as my card number the numerals when they decipher it should curtail call.
