Hi just WARNING to all the nice people on scope We've found out more this morning if you receive an e-mail or text supposedly from your bank or credit card company please contact them first as the scams are from Chile and China if you should ring the number on the e-mail or text even if it looks similar to your bank or credit card company calls will cost £10 a minute even if it just rings & ring's then automatically cut off after 3 to 5 minutes lucky I had the sense to ring CARL58 bank yesterday but this morning I wanted to know more trouble is the bank blocks your account and sends out a new card and security code incase the scammers have more details than just your name I don't want to panic anyone just want people to be safe than sorry jen
