I came home to a garbled voice to text message on my answerphone to Please contact JBDR urgently on 01413546630 quoting reference

It is some debt collection agency in Glasgow and from research on the internet it is some type of scam.

So how can I pea them off without it costing me money?

    Hi,

    From a little research it appears this debt collection agency collect unpaid bills for Southern Electric. Your not a Southern Electric customer are you? If so, you have your answer!
    Profit=sanity
    Turnover=vanity
    Greed=inhumanity:dance:

    Never in my life have I been with Southern Electric.

    Have you got any debt ? If so these clowns could be chasing it. Do not ring them.

    Get some quotes for insurance from comparison sites and put their tele number in, they will get loads of insurance staff ringing them about their quote

    Gotta agree here.

    If it's that important or earth-shattering they'll ring back.
  • Hi

    I've just received a text message from this company JBDR asking me to call them urgently, on a London skype number that i've had for a few months. To my knowledge, this number is not listed anywhere and shouldn't be formally as I left the country months ago. I paid up all outstanding bills in my name before I left, was very careful of that, even had my mail on redirect so i would catch anything that came through. Should i just ignore the message and then get a new skype number?

    Cheers
    Kat
