John says (19th August 2010):
>>The new telephone 'scam' has arrived.

I received a call from a 'representative' of BT, informing me that he was disconnecting me because of an unpaid bill. He demanded payment immediately of £31.00, or it would be £118.00 to re-connect at a later date.

The guy wasn't even fazed when I told him I was with Virgin Media;
allegedly VM have to pay BT a percentage for line rental!

I asked the guy's name - the very 'English' John Peacock with a very
'African' accent - & phone number - 0800 0800 152.

Obviously the man realised I wasn't believing his story, so offered to
demonstrate that he was from BT. I asked how & he told me to hang up & try phoning someone - he would disconnect my phone to prevent this.

AND HE DID!!
My phone was dead - no engaged tone, nothing - until he phoned me again.

Very pleased with himself, he asked if that was enough proof that he was with BT. I asked how the payment was to be made & he said credit card, there & then.

I said that I didn't know how he'd done it, but I had absolutely no
intention of paying him, I didn't believe his name or that he worked for BT.

He hung up.

Did 1471 & phoned his fictitious 0800 number – not recognised.

I phoned the police to let them know, I wasn't the first! It's only just started apparently but it is escalating.

Their advice was to let as many people know by word of mouth of this scam. The fact that the phone does go off would probably convince some people it's real, so please let as many friends & family aware of this.

This is good but not that clever. He gave the wrong number - it should have been 0800 800152 which takes you through to BT Business. The cutting off of the line is very simple , he stays on the line with the mute button on and you can't dial out - but he can hear you trying. (This is because the person who initiates a call is the one to terminate it). When you stop trying he cuts off and immediately calls back. You could almost be convinced! The sad thing is that it is so simple that it will certainly fool the elderly and vulnerable. Obviously, if this scam is real, once they have your credit/debit card details, there is nothing to stop them cleaning out your account.

Love your site and really appreciate all the tips.

***Jeanie Says***

Hi John

Yes, I realised that when I received a call from them after I had sent out the email.

I was just politely firm and said that I would think about it.

I suppose that is why they are offering the the prize of free lazer eye surgery.

I hope you win. Well if I don't, of course. Hehe.

Kindest regards

Jeanie

>>For all you mum and Dads out there who are thinking of looking at different universities with their kids at the moment.Check out the prices on www.megabus.com I was amazed. I looked at british rail and it was almost £50 return to go to Exeter from London, so I would have paid £150 for 3 tickets. I just thought I would check out www.megabus.com and even thou it says Bus lots of the journeys are train. Exeter return is £16 each on the train, so I got all 3 tickets for less that 1 on British rail.

>>Hi again

Just noticed some toy story bargains in tesco clearance:

Toy Story light up scooter reduced from £24.97 to £12.48
Toy Story Bubble Scooter (blows bubbles!) from £34.97 to £17.48
and loads more bikes, trikes etc. if you type in toy story outdoor toys

Not sure if they are also compatible with the clubcard voucher exchange promotion (turning £5 clubcard vouchers to £10?-probably not!)

>>Right then bare with me on this one:

I am sending you a link to BRITISH GAS for a free home energy monitoring set woth £55 - it takes 2 mins max to fill in!

YOU DO NOT have to be a customer

when you go to the link it asks for a promo code type EF3 (case sensitive so do it right)
hit enter and fill in your details - It asks what benefits you get as most of us get something from working tax credits to Child benefit or anything like that just tick any!
and when it asks for your benefit number just put your NI number or make something up!

Telephone number - I just put my code and a string 000000

And that's it very good & free!

Hope you do it as mines on it's way - if link doesn't work - copy & paste into URL

It has worked for everyone I have forwarded this onto

Unwanted Mobile Calls and Messages

calling.
To remove your number go here.
http://www.118800.co.uk/removeme/remove-me.html. (you will be sent a 5 digit message to your mobile to input.

***Jeanie Says***
Hi Doreen. It is worth reading the Frequently Asked Question http://www.118800.co.uk/faqs.html
It looks like they do not give out your number but contact you to ask you if you would like to be contacted by the person enquiring after your number. They make a charge of £1 to the person trying to contact you. They also say
'Our policy is not to include anyone in the directory who isn’t 18 years of age. However where a parent has given their mobile phone to a child to use, we are unable to identify this unless the parent informs us.'

A-M says (18th June 2009):
>>Hi Jeannie, How worried should we be about this? Is it worth requesting that our details are removed?
***Jeanie Says***
I am not an expert on this but I don't think I will have my details removed - yet. If I start to get unsolicited calls I might remove it then. But it might even be a useful service to find people we have lost touch with.

Margaret Lipka says (2nd December 2008):
>>Jeanie,

I would just like to say a BIG THANK YOU to you for all your hard work sourcing these amazing bargains!

I so look forward to receiving your emails each week and have certainly recommended your website to my friends who are hunting down bargains.

Keep up the fantastic work!

On a different note - I can remember you mentioned Darren who performed at your daughters wedding. I actually hired him as Elvis at our School Fete last year and he was fantastic as well as a really nice guy. It sounded like a great wedding.

Kind regards

Margaret

***Jeanie Says***

Thank you so much for your kind words Margaret. It's lovely to get such wonderful feedback from all the bargain hunters out there. For those of you who don't know who Darren is, he and his wife perfomed at my daughter's wedding in September. You can check him out at www.theultimatetribute.co.uk

>>I joined my local freecycle group. This is a group you register with and you post wanted ads if you need something or offered ads if you have anything you dont want,but it has to be free. So far I have been given a portable telly and 2 scratch posts .I have also got rid of things I didnt want so I think it is a brilliant scheme

Hannah says (25th November 2008):
>>I have been a member of my local freecycle group via yahoo & it is brilliant. Not only have I got things for free but I have passed on stuff to other freecyclers that would have otherwise endded up in the local tip. Highly recomend

Sonja OConnell says (15th October 2008):
>>Many of us have non chargeable calls in our phone packages. It is really annoying when you need to call a 0870 national rate number or an 0845 local rate when we should be given opportunity to call for nothing. site www.saynoto0870.com will often give numbers than you can call for free thus reducing your phone bill. I can now call my telephone banking without being charged for my call. Worth checking for an alternative before dialing that chargeable number.

Bernie says (19th April 2008):
>>Receive a registered letter for Seasons Holiday s saying i had won a prize. Nice website but I was a bit suspicious so I googled them. Looks like it could be a scam. A company with that name were successfully prosecuted by trading standards and fined 6 years ago - See http://www.carmarthenshire.gov.uk/index.asp?locID=7089&docID=3539
If these are the same people and it does look like they could be - they are still at it!!

chloe stoakes says (27th December 2007):
>>To get many items free the best website is freecycle, you just type in your local area and people who have items surplus to requirments post on here or you can say what your wanted items are. I got a Hamster cage for my daughter from here free and it was in perfect condition. The great thing about the site is it helps the landfills so you are doing your bit for the environment too!

Jeanette says (7th November 2007):
>>I have had loads of calls today from 0845 6853000, it is a scam as you can see from below it will cost you £2.50 per minite if you except them, so heres what has been said about them.

"Got an automated call three times in quick succession today "you have
received a reverse charge call, press X to accept the call", no details
of who it was from, their number or how much it would cost. Looking up
the call costs it seems like accepting it costs a min. of 2.50. Is this
a new scam to extract money from your phone account."
So if you want to stop these calls you can try registering with TPS on 0800
398893.
Hope this helps some people out there, good luck Jeanette

***Jeanie Says***
This appears to be genuine, a friend of mine has received one of these calls. The TPS is the Telephone Preference Service and you can also register online at www.tpsonline.org.uk

Jan says (20th October 2006):
>>Have you heard of the www.freecycle.org Each area throughout the country has their own site which you can register with. The idea is that you offer goods for free which you no longer need but don't just want to bin. If you see an item that you want then you e mail the person giving it away and they decide who to give it to. We have just got 2 free mountain bikes from someone.
