General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Just a heads up, we've had 2 automated phone calls this Morning purporting to renewing our Amazon Prime account at the cost of 79.99. We don't have this service so I just hung up. About 45mins later we got another call from a different number with the same message. My Wife took this call and went through to an ' advisor'. She was given verbally the same message and after telling the bloke on the other end we don't subscribe to this service ( he wasn't listening ), she put the phone down. She then contacted Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 who advised her that it was probably a scam, they were aware of similar doing the rounds, and was given a crime number. She gave no details to the scammers, and the powers that be are aware. There apparently are departments incorporated into BT/ Sky/Virgin who have the facility to block these calls. I'll look into it. BE AWARE !!
