I have had 2 phone calls on my mobile this week with a recorded message saying I haven’t paid my national insurance, please press 1. No chance obviously.
Also text messages saying they are from HSBC bank telling me about a new recipient that has been set up.....please visit ( random website )...
I have also had a similar one in the past from a scammer posing as O2, it was also a mobile number.
I’m not sure how many they catch as I’ve been with O2 for years and every text from them comes up as O2UK.
I received a text today from 07399 266480.
Telling me they are PayPal and they have limited my account due to safety concerns and to visit some dodgy website.
