New Scam Making The Rounds - Be Aware

Bambino — Fri, 11 Jun 2021 13:00:05 GMT

Had a call the other day saying that my National Insurance number had been compromised and to press 1 to take action. It had gone straight to my voicemail. The call came from a number with the prefix 07802, which is an O2 prefix. This appears to be a new one and is most definitely a scam. Stay alert if you receive a call like this, or similar to this, and do not respond by pressing any numbers on your phone.

Block the number and report it free to 7726.
Don’t open any links or enter any information.
