NEW PHONE SCAM WARNING

PHONE SCAM WARNING: - Fraudsters call up from a local number and introduce themselves and a fake company they are supposedly working for, they then ask 'CAN YOU HEAR ME' ?

If you answer 'YES' the con artists record the call and edit the audio to make it seem you have signed a verbal contract for a major purchase.

PLEASE HANG UP IMMEDIATELY if you hear these words.

The scam was in the U.S and is forecast to hit the U.K, at least we are forewarned.  

Thank you to the KVHA for this.
