Be aware of the phone call-back scam, too: the phone will ring just once... for a split second... then it will ring off. If you have caller ID you will see an 08 number (in the UK) and the idea is to get you to dial back to find out who wanted you. Then of course you're on the hook for a massive hit in your phone bill with a premium-rate call

I tried to report this online to our UK enforcement agency, but I was directed to select the particular scam I wanted to report... and of course this one wasn't on the list, so I had to leave it

Interestingly, after being plagued by these calls for such a long time, we find we haven't had any since the lock-down... I guess the buggers are all at home for the duration. I hope they starve
