Interesting call on my mobile today from a scammer, probably African, claiming to be the City County Court (no such court) and that there was a cheque for £3,100 waiting to be delivered by a certified delivery agent, for PPI claim with a credit card company (one which I have), he did have my address, but that isn't difficult to get. He claimed the delivery agent would give me the cheque after I'd deposited £250 onto a Paysafe card and given it to him over the phone. After patiently listening to the whole pitch I commented that he must think I'm stupid if he expects me to pass over £250 to a stranger in exchange for a fake cheque for a PPI claim which didn't exist. He assured me that it was genuine, but hung up when I couldn't contain my laughter.
The number he left for return calls was 02081449105, but the number he called from showed up as unknown.
