[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 365770, member: 16173"] Yep, that's what we've told him. Best bit is he hasn't got a credit only debit card. Seems the "policeman, DC Robson" said his card had been used fraudulently in Oxford St for over a £1000. Got as far as he had him go and check that his cards were still where he keeps them etc. He's just over now and the wife's phoning his bank. They have spoken to him and reassured him etc. Interestingly he had a phone call from "the police" earlier in the day saying he had been in an accident. He said he hadn't and put the phone down. I reckon the first phone call sowed the seeds of panic and the second played on that. These scammers know that the older generations have more respect for the police I guess so if they say they're a policeman they must be! [/QUOTE]
