    Interesting call I had at 7pm on Good Friday. Out of habit I don't speak until I'm sure that there is someone there. After nearly half a minute a voice said hello. I responded and without asking who I was the voice told me that he was calling on behalf of my bank and that I owed them over £1K. They wanted the sum paid off immediately and needed details of my credit card. When I asked who he was he simply repeated that he was calling on "behalf of my bank".

    He got a bit stroppy and and said that there would be consequences if I didn't pay.

    I daresay some will be taken in by it though.

    What really surprised me was the fact that a number was displayed on my phone - 01789 456 123. Google it and see what you get. Just to check I dialled 1471 and got the "We do not know the number" message, not the withheld one you may note. Dialling that number you are told that it is "not recognised".

    I can't get my head around the technicalities of that and I thought that I knew about telecoms. These people are obviously very savvy.
