Scams

**Topper** · 3 Weeks Ago

I had two scams in 3 days, the first was on Monday when an Asian gentleman with an International phone ID telephoned asking for me by name and said he was representing Visa and Barclaycard and did I know I had now gained in excess of 300 points, I wish I had let him carry on and explain what I had to do to get whatever the 'Prize' was however I stopped him there and said , pardon me how can you possibly be representing two completely different companies who are in competition with each other. He said no I had misunderstood him.... I said no I think you have misunderstood, I don't get points on my card account I get cashback so you are obviously completely bogus.....the phone fell silent and he said oh ok and hung up.

The second one is an email I received today, I have had them before for lot of American banks but never the Natwest

What a shame they still have not learnt to spell properly
