I had a recorded phone call last night-

If you use Visa, and they named other Credit Cards. the percentage is going up, so if you want to know more press 6
I pressed end of call.
Wonder what scam this was, to find out your credit details or you would be paying lots of money for the phone call if you pressed 6

I am registered with the TPS so I don't get many 'advertising' calls. I do get the occasional one that is a recorded message and begins 'Congratulations!'. I don't stay on the line long enough to find out what she is congratulating me for

Researching:
Northampton/Blisworth Northants/Hinderclay Suffolk

These poor kids who have to take these jobs.
This is not what they educated themselves for, bless them.
