THERE is still not much improvement in our “summer” weather. Last week I mentioned a call from an unknown number that was clearly a scam call. I have looked further into these types of calls, since one of my local friends also had similar calls towards the end of the week. The first call began with an automated voice saying "this is Nat West Bank Visa Fraud Team” and then a voice came on. My friend was immediately suspicious as she has no account with Nat West and the caller had a strong foreign accent. He said 2 payments had been made on her visa debit card and they had the name of a shop and an overseas bank. When she said she didn’t bank with Nat West, they hung up. An hour later the same thing happened but it was "Barclays". The third caller claimed to be from Halifax Building Society.
