Just had the same type of scammer on the phone, they nust constantly troll through new advertisers. Liverpool accent, offering the "Vanguard" magazine for Police, Fire Brigade & Ambulance crews. starts with the spiel he's from the Gloucester Police Authority, but "not to worry" I wasn't in trouble, it was nothing to do with fly tipping or speeding? ...No I wasn't worried!
Promises loads of work from Police, Fire Brigade & ambulance staff, I will be the only advertiser. Then gets rapidly to cost, £495 for ful page, £295 for 1/2 page, £195 for 1/4 page. I engage him with some banter and he says he will get "Rick from Unity Print" to call me back. Asks for my website & email (where did he get my number from?) A few minutes later a Liverpool landline number shows on screen. Didn't answer and came here.
Unfortunately for them, both numbers displayed, the initial mobile call number is 07941 then 361 then 162 and the landline number is 0151 then 709 then 0784 I am now going to forward these via Twitter & Facebook networks with a link from my website warning people of scam callers.
These scams have been doing the rounds for years and just keep preying on fresh advertisers & start-ups, so it must make it worth their while. Don't fall for it people. (way to add phone numbers is as above, break number down and insert a word between!) I strarted getting these calls once I had registered with Freeindex, Scoot and Yell, they are obviously trawling through the new advertising additions.
