Well, fake police rang my gran about an American Express Black card issue relating to the suspicious purchase of a transatlantic balloon flight for one, Southampton to New Jersey (it couldn't have been my gran, she hates heights which is why she lives in a bingalow) but the scammers were so convincing she handed £80,000 there and then to them from the jamjar she keeps on a kitchen shelf just behind her Womens' Institute collecting box. Its' crinimal, wots going on out there.
