  • In the past six months alone, 40 million people have been targeted by scammers, a 14% increase on last year. A particularly hard-to-spot scam called number spoofing is also on the rise, where a scammer is able to modify their caller ID and mimic the number of a company or bank.
    26-year-old dog trainer Millie Clark knows this scam all too well, as she was conned out of over £20,000 when she received a call from what appeared to be her bank. After she nearly lost her business, Millie joins Holly and Phillip today to tell her story and warn others about number spoofing.

    I am so paranoid that I always call companies back with numbers I get for myself. Even the police knocked my door and I checked police station to make sure it was the real police.

      ​@@lifelongred7056 I saw people in one of the local Facebook groups talking about that. Apparently they are just casing people's houses. Have a look around your property and make sure they haven't marked you

    People need to understand that the telephone number on your card is the number you ring when you are in trouble to connect to your bank. It isn't the number the bank uses too contact you. So if you see that number then you should know its fake.

    I don’t answer phone calls I don’t know. I let it ring out then I Google it.
    If I get a text like that I don’t click on it and I contact the company myself as I don’t trust texts out of the blue same if I get texts from the bank or credit card companies

      They'll keep doing it till you start telling them you had their mother last night. That's the only thing that gets their attention. I went from 100 calls a day to 3 week.

      That's not true. They only change caller id but number is not from the bank.

    • @kikikeel7695
      @kikikeel7695 4 дня назад

      They do that through VoIP which is basically a telephone service delivered through the internet. Any number can be created for caller ID purposes. The caller may not necessarily be in the country whose numbers they are using.

    Her first mistake was keeping money in the bank. That's the last place you want your money. People don't care and don't do their research. In 100% of cases the banks always end up taking all your money. Just depends what part of the cycle you're in. If it's the trust building cycle you're in luck. If you're on the back end you learn the hard way.
