There is a new mobile phone scam about so be very careful if you have just taken delivery of a new mobile device.
The scammers are cold calling people that have purchased directly from the likes of The Care Phone Warehouse and offering them mobile phone insurance. These scam merchants do not seem to be taking no for an answer, so even where the person has already taken out mobile insurance, they are offering a better deal. The “Scam Insurance Company” is offering mobile phone insurance and then asking for the person’s credit card details for payment.
The best advice to anyone is NEVER give out your credit card details to anyone that phones YOU. Ask them to send you the details in the post or ask them for details of their web site. Before you proceed check into the company and make sure the company does exist. This goes for any received call for whatever service is being offered – do not give out your credit card details.
There is nothing wrong in using your phone to purchase items and giving over your credit card details, but only if it is you that made the call in the first place and to a known and reputable company.
