URGENT WARNING - BE AWARE - TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW - SEND EMAILS TO ALL YOUR ADDRESS BOOK.
I've seen this on the web [and the BBC] so it's deffo real.
there's this really amazing, clever scam going on: A man or woman knocks on your door and says....
'Hello there, very nice householder, I'm a dodgy stranger, I have a free pen here for you. Can I come in and have a look around your big rich house? Oh, and where do you keep your cash, and whats the PIN for your cashcard? Hey do you know you can trust me?... coz I've got a blurry photocard ID with dodgy graphics and lots of spelling mistakes. Now where's your bank books, and could you lend me £75'.
They then give you the pen and steal all your stuff while you are writing with the new 10p pen.
If this happens to you, be careful as they are sometimes thieves in disguise and not real 'helpy-helpy-give-stuff-away-for-free-people'.
You have been warned.
Please pass to everyone in the world so they are warned.
These scammers get more and more clever everyday.0 -
