This afternoon I got a text message from ?? EE ?? my ISP
EE We are having issues verifying your billing details. Update these details immediately at XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX to avoid a block on your EE account.
They must think I'd just dropped off my Christmas tree.
I reported it to EE and was told that they would add it to their warning list.
I know that you're all savvy regarding these scams but I thought I'd share it in case you had any relatives who may get caught out.
ALSO I had a message from my Bank Nat West last week about a scam telling people they had a parcel waiting at their local DPD depot. They'd tried to deliver it twice and to receive their parcel they had to ring and pay for re-delivery. George had one of these emails but saw it for what it was and deleted it immediately.
It's never a good time to get these scams but even more so at Christmas when people perhaps aren't as vigilant as they should be and are maybe WAITING for a parcel to be delivered.

Keep getting the "amazon prime" scam phone calls, and, the Im from your internet provider one, they usually hang up on me when they twig that I am taking the piss out of them.

You're going the same route as me, but I've found that you can't take the p1ss put of sh1t Dinks.
With these shysters you can tell that it's a case of back-water-duck's.
Remain vigilant Folks.

I have several ways of dealing with them, one I use is string them on for a while then pretend to call the police on a another line when you get back the line is usually silent.
