Possible New Phone Scam

Ed Draper, who is a presenter on Sky Sports News has just tweeted this

"Twitter friends, heads up.

Had a dodgy-sounding call on my landline saying my internet was going to be disconnected and to press 1 to prevent this. Do not press anything!

Spoke to Sky Broadband and one lady has been scammed £40 in reverse
charges."

Not new, has been around quite a while.

Those calls are a nuisance, the second I hear and recognise the voice I hang up.

Been getting those calls for a while - 3 last Friday - I just hang up.

I usually put the call on speaker and hang up at the end of the spiel,after all they are paying for the call.

Like others, this has been around for ages. I had a spate of them about 3 weeks ago, they rang about 15 times over 3 days. Just ignored them.
