If anyone rings that I don’t know the number I never answer anyway. Pulling off scams however? I could write a book I get them all the time. I cut them short by saying" I'm a vulnerable pensioner, let's cut the crap I'll just give my bank details now shall I?" Had a bloke call me one day in a heavy Asian accent telling me to check my computer. I told him to f**k off and he damn near cried laughing . It was my son. I have a mate who was really ill at one point. He got a call from an Asian bloke. He gave him short shrift and told him to f**k off. Asian rang again. "Hello, this is your GP." It was. Embarrassment wasn't the word. Edited 8 hours ago by jukel123 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Halfhound 422 Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago It’s just dawned me I was a victim of a scam lately. Some guy had offered to bet me £5000 that I wouldn’t be in Doncaster within the month. I booked my flights and arranged lodgings to collect my money but the guy disappeared off the face of the earth. €130 that flight cost me. The train from Doncaster to King’s Cross wasn’t cheap either but it wasn’t a bad journey. You live and learn I guess 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not 100% on the details but I know he definitely has his issues. I’ve heard rumours he’s regularly beaten by his Eastern European wife but I couldn’t say for sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
