Just a heads up warning
I keep getting calls from different mobile numbers they all start with the first 8 numbers of my own mobile number
It is a recorded message saying your national insurance number has been compromised and to press 1 to follow the instructions
Ii have looked into this and it is a scam
Dont press 1 hang up and block the number

I had one yesterday saying that people were on their way to arrest me due to tax fraud or something like that. Apparently it's a popular one going around.

I have a family member who works for the police and they once got a scam call on their work phone when they were at work!!! They went along with it at first and kept them on the line pretending to be interested then when asked for their address gave their address as xxxxx police station. Sadly no funny reactions they were just cut off but I like to think the scammer got a bit of a shock and then was worried about their line being traced or something.

@66Mustang wish I could of seen their face lol when they realised lol ?

@lisathomas50 haha
I wish I was able to use the phone as I would enjoy having lots of fun with scam callers -
This was just an automated message so not able to play them at their game

I've only ever had one scam call on my landline...someone rang and said "hello, its the bank"
"Oh, which bank? " I asked, they hung up...amateurs lol -
@Cress I laugh at the ones who say hi say what they git to say and what is your name I say you tell me lol abd the phone goes down

Someone I knew used to ask them to hold on for a minute, then he’d put the radio next to the phone and just carry on with his day! ? serves them right.
