New scam!
SCAM ALERT. New one on me! I get a Whats App message "Dad my phone has been stolen, I'm borrowing one from work, until I can get my insurance to replace mine. Here is the number of my work phone xxxx xxxxxxxxxx." Later in the day, Whats App message, from the new number, "Dad, my Bank won't allow me to use my new phone to pay an invoice, which needs paying before tomorrow. If I send you the payment details i.e. Bank sort code and account number can you pay if for me, and I'll settle up tomorrow." OK. Then follows the amount £xxx, and the Bank Details again by Whats App. Just as a check I phone my daughter, on her old number, and find out that she has not lost her phone, nor does she need any invoice paying. Tthis is a scam, and can be sent to anyone. Merry Christmas.
