The BBC this week published a “behind the scenes” report from the telephone call centres in South East Asia responsible for the increasing problem of telephone scams.
The report focuses on TalkTalk customers being scammed which I think is a little unfair on TalkTalk as this problem is far greater.
In the shop every other day we hear from people being targeted from all different network providers.
Nevertheless at least this issue is continuously being brought to the public’s attention to help alert people and make people aware.
The advice is simple – if you receive an unexpected telephone call from your ISP (Internet Service Provider), do not engage in any conversation. Simply hang up.
Here is the link to the report.
