Watch out for phone scammers
Posted on May 2, 2008, by Conor O'Neill, under Business.
I’ve just been called by an automated system claiming to be Cork number 021-42790990. The message says that’s I’ve won some bullshit competition and to press 9 now to claim it. You can be damn sure this either results in me calling a premium rate number or they’ll just need get my bank details from me. So if you get some whiny American voice telling you to press 9 now, don’t! Usual rule applies, you will never get anything for free from strangers online or on the phone.
More discussion of the scam.
