Scams

The Gorse Fox has just had a phone call from an Oxford number 01865-589555 and the recorded messages said something like:
"You are being investigated by HMRC. Your name is part of a lawsuit being prepared for prosecution. You house is under surveillance. Please call this number immediately"
Now the Gorse Fox is always cautious and alert to scams or attempted scams. He wasn't in the slightest bit concerned as he had heard of this scam before. He logged on to "who-called.co.uk" and saw that over 8,000 people had checked on this number and it was considered "dangerous". In the comments below people had confirmed the same call had been received and some had actually responded to the call before realising it was a malicious call.

The Gorse Fox has posted this to the blog as a warning ti the unwary.
