Scam Telephone Calls
A CSN member received a phone call yesterday morning from a male person saying they were running an advertisement on behalf of the emergency services. The mystery caller mentioned he had got a telephone number from the "Farm Link" website on which an advertisement had been placed by the member.
The caller spoke with an English accent which aroused suspicion especially when he said the advertiser would be the only company selling the advertised product. When questioned what use it would be advertising in a Scotland or England (as he had phoned with an overseas number (0151 236 8058) which had come up on the members mobile before it was answered. He replied that they also work here.
When asked for contact details or a web address for his company so that checks could be carried out out he hung up.
This may well have been a fraudulent call so be wary in passing out personal and financial details unless a call can be properly authenticated.
