Clever Phone Scam
Don't get caught out with this clever phone scam
There is a new take on an old phone scam currently hitting people. The old scam was to pretend to be the telephone company and phone someone saying that they are about to be cut-off if they don't pay a smallish amount by card over the phone immediately. If people don't believe them they are actually encouraged to hang-up and then try to make a call. When they hang-up and then pick the phone up again it is dead. How do they do this?

Now this scam has been extended to someone pretending to be from your bank. What should you do?
