Telephone Fraud

Read this and be vary wary of calls offering big money prizes or holidays. There is a telephone fraud currently in operation (this applies to home and/or work telephones, land lines and mobiles). If you do receive one of these calls you will hear a recorded message congratulating you on winning money or an all expenses trip to an exotic location. You will then be asked to press 9 to hear further details. If you press 9 you will be connected to a premium rate line that costs approximately £20 per minute. Even if you disconnect immediately, it will remain connected for a minimum of 5 minutes, costing around £100. Also beware of spamming and scamming text and telephone messages on many other fronts - they are all on the increase. Generally you cannot win a prize if you did not enter the competition. Genuine wins do not ask you to ring expensive premium rate numbers. Try to educate any vulnerable adults or children not to call back these numbers as it will end in very large telephone bills.
