A scam call

Hi Val

We have just received a phone call from someone allegedly EDF telling us that we are using too much electricity and that the engineers are cutting us off this afternoon. To find out more,  “quickly” ring their technical department on an 089 number. The lady that answered said not to worry and hold on until she had make further enquiries, after about 10 mins we put the phone down.

This appears to be a scam based on the threat of being cut off. Others beware as its a premium rate number.

If you don’t hear from me by end of the afternoon then its not a scam!!!

Val says trying to get you to call a premium rate number defintely a scam, so naughty.
