Watch out for this phone scam neighbours such as Trading Investments and Microsoft - Reply
Yeah, I get this phone call from time to time wanting my name to be interested in making a secondary income. I did tell a guy on the same call to delete me off the database because I unfortunately had signed up for a trading scheme a while back but I found out they went to administration in November last year. So I understand your peoples pain around this subject.
If any of you on Neighbourly do get any phone calls , usually if you have a landline phone with a screen showing with phone numbers, write the number down first while it rings. I know that sounds like a pain in the backside but eventually if you get the whole number down you will be able to see if they ring next time. Usually the phone number will in the UK starting with a 0064 than whatever the number is.
Most trading schemes and scams online want you to deposit $250 USD to start off your own trading account. This money you don't get back. Many online trading groups say that you can withdrawal your own money out of that account after so many trades, etc but that is very unlikely. Trading online is a risky business but then it basically wasting your own hard worked money on something that is usually worth nothing in the long run.
The other thing I would like to mention is the Microsoft scams as well. There will people from time to time who claim who are "Microsoft" technicians or "actual certified" people to want to fix your computer. Please if anyone gets these phone calls, just say "No thanks, Not interested. I know you guys are scams! Microsoft would not ring me to look at my computer!" Something like that. MICROSOFT DOES NOT RING PEOPLE WANTING THEM TO FIX THERE COMPUTERS. PERIOD!
Now last thing is that if anyone has email, I'm sure that most people do now. Just want to say if anyone get emails saying that your bank account has not been verified, these too on the emails are called "phishing" emails, where a certain email would come up on your email saying that your bank account needs verifying or your bank account needs updating, usually if you get any emails like this, if you search on the email address itself the email address will be something like say michaelxyz@habbabalubba744k44juinhyuuy.com, some ridiculous email like this. Just delete these emails but if you do accidentally click the fake link on that email address, this will go to the actual bank website whatever your bank maybe.
