Scam

[UnFulfilledScott]

I got today an automatic call ;about my pps number compromised and asking personal details .I saw previously on the police webpage the alert of this scam.But what is it all about ?They want to get personal details or i dont really understand .

Top 3 scams :
Nigerian Prince, (419ers) which thrives on the mark's greed.
Tech support, which thrives on their ignorance.
Collector, which thrives on unquestioning obeisance to authority.

Would it be related to Health Services ( NIH ? ) having been ransomware hacked ?

All that cache of personal information in bad actors’ hands ?? >>>

I've had a series of calls from 083 numbers in the last couple of weeks all going straight to voicemail when I do answer. Mostly its messages relating to my PPS number being compromised. It seems to be widespread. I think Stephanie has a point about information being compromised following the HSE hack as the number of spam calls seems to have escalated since.

BE very very careful on Ebay guys

don't buy aftershave or perfumes on there
I purchased Creed Aventus and it was an escort that copped it on and told me I smelt different and I was not the jimmy she was accustomed to,

Anyway these scammers are buying empty genuine Creed Aventus bottles and filling them with Scented Dogs Piss and selling it on Ebay so be careful,
you be better off wearing BRUT

I got the same call 2 days ago. FROM A 083 NUMBER. When you answer the phone an answering machine tells your pps number has been compromise, it ask you to go to a web site or else to click on a link. The idea is that you click there and re input your details. When they have that they can pretend that they are you and get into your bank accounts, social welfare or whatever. That is call wide cast net Pishing. Out of 1 million people who gets the call, certain percentage will click there and get caught in the scam.
Just delete any links and never input any personal info anywhere.

REMEMBER they always have a sense or URGENCY.
They ask you to contact them or click on a link.

Got that one too. Got two 089 today. 085 going around too.

I knew something was off mate, Girls were not getting as close as usual. I won it at auction and paid 120 quid for it, thought it was a bargain for big bottle.

Theyre buying empty bottles on Ebay UK and filling it with all sorts and passing it off as the real genuine article, to the guy who only ever buys Brut or old spice you simply would be none the wiser
