Random calls - Wrong number

[xoggoth]

Yeh. Think it is just landlines. Maybe won't happen when all this shift to digital happens. Or maybe it will, scammers always manage to find some way.

PS: I am your son trapped in Nepal. Can you send me $1000 for a plane ticket?

I've been watching the latest series of Scam Interceptors on BBC1, and every one of the scam calls has originated from India.

I guess it would be seen as a bit racist if they were to offer the simple advice: if you receive a call from someone you don't know with an Indian accent, hang up.

You can get some Brits or genuine off-shore sorts with Indian accents, it's when they say they are "My name is Susan" or Robert or summit that puts me off.

PS Sounds inneresting series, may have a watch.
