I and my wife are being pestered by phone calls possibly emanating from India. Callers use name such as John, David and Fred. The number of phone calls has intensified in last 2 days with calls starting as early as 8.30am. They claim to be calling on behalf of company called Consumer UK or Consumer Advisory Service UK and claim to have been authorized by Government of UK.
Strangely enough after the last call today, I got a call from 'Vidya' offering to block block all nuisance calls if I gave her some details of my Visa card! She claimed to be from Customer Services at TPS or something. The phone no given was 08712700039 which is a premium number! On refusal to give details, the offer of blocking was withdrawn!
We would be grateful if you would withhold our names ant telephone no which is given to you just to veryfy our authenticity.
John Patel,
Essex
