Latest phone scam.

I missed the first 'private caller', but answered the second (am expecting a call from the library and they always use 'private caller' status).
It was from 'David' with a very broad Asian accent and claiming to be from the Ministry of Justice.
I was occupied so just told him he was a liar and put down the phone.
Now I'm curious about what the storyline would have been.
Am I being called to court and need an expensive lawyer, is there a killer on the loose or has a distant relative left me millions ?

you're due some money, if you pay a release/admin fee first0

They usually pretend to be connected to some form of government Justice Department and that there has been money set aside by an Insurer for a recent car accident you've had.0

That wouldn't involve money.... I suppose they could want your bank details for expenses refund though.pendragon_arther wrote: »You've been called up for jury service.0
