ubit Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 Try it and see. All you have to send is your phone no. No? Quote

ubit Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 I don't understand why people are so worried about supplying name address and phone no. You do it all the time and companies sell your details to others. Its not like you are giving out your bank details. Quote

That's certainly the case, but I would be a bit miffed to have rewarded the scammers with the information they have tricked out of me. It would seem slightly odd to get this information if it was of no use. The information that is marketed by other businesses is, presumably, correctly used according to any relevant laws. Couldn't you trigger a PayPal payment with this information as part of another scam)? Edited October 28, 2021 by Steve Browning Quote

A genuine company won't try and hack your phone these guys might.... do you keep online banking details on your phone? Quote

toneknob Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 Scam. Doesn't say "Groovehacker" anywhere 1 1 Quote
yorks5stringer Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 It's quite an enterprising scam though one which would only touch quite a small population? Wonder if that guy in the Midlands is behind it as his revenge to being outed? 3 Quote

Once they've got you on the hook, the reply email, or the one after that, or the one after that, will ask for credit card details. Quote
