    Seems to be a lot of SPAM coming out from emails @fathom-labs.io at the moment. Looks like they have got hold of a lot of email addresses and are sending out emails that look very convincing from companies like John Lewis and Boots saying you have won a prize.

    Personally, I would take a number from the HMRC website rather than the letters and give them a call to ask. HMRC are not known for being proactive so better to check now than have to spend loads of time sorting out something not of your making further down the line. Assuming it is not a scam...

    I had a new variant of the internet performance call the other morning. “Good morning Sir. I am calling from BT Openreach on behalf of Sky and Virgin” Trying to cover as many bases as possible there. I let this one go on for longer than usual and it appears that they try to get people to...

    Got two calls today about my BT Internet Router (I've never had BT broadband). First guy got the air horn app fairly quickly. Second one I tried to ask if he would be happy if anyone was scamming his parents as someone else suggested but this guy just said he wasn't scamming and went on with...

    Seems like the home insulation scammers are back targeting Sussex after a few months off. Same guy tried me twice in three days. You would have thought that he would have learned from the first time when I let him speak for a while before using the Air Horn app I downloaded to see these types...

    Getting loads of the automated calls at the moment about my BT Internet connection (that I don't have). I prefer the personal scammers as you can have a bit of fun with them (and I've got the air horn app on my phone now if they get abusive) but the automated ones are just annoying. Anyone...

The first call cuts off as soon as you answer so I guess that is just checking someone is at the other end, The second call was someone claiming to be from Virgin Media about my broadband. Having has a similar call about BT Broadband a while ago, this new...

    Took a phone call from an Indian sounding chap this morning who told me he was calling from BT Openreach. It seems like the internet use in my house was very high and it was suspected that my internet had been hacked. The gentleman kindly offered to help me fix this and just wanted me to give...

    I took a call the other day regarding loft insulation. Caller says that you had your loft insultation replaced a few years ago under the government scheme and that the insulation used can cause condensation. This is all quite believable but they are trying to get into people's houses, do an...
