BT Payment Collection Scam

This was been sent out by Cambridgeshire Police at the end of July 2009

Norfolk Police have been made aware of a BT collection service scam which is believed to be a National fraud. A professional sounding adult male phones the victim (victims chosen are listed in the phone directory) stating he is calling from BT Collection Service because money is owed to BT.

The caller states that the (victims) bank has stopped the Direct Debit and that money is immediately owed else the phone will be cut off.

The amount that is allegedly ‘owed’ has been less than £10 (typically £9 ).

The caller requires the victims credit card details so that payment can be made. The caller also ‘proves’ he can easily cut off the victims phone telling them to hang up and try dialling out.

It is then believed he puts them on ‘hold’ so that the line is still connected but of course the victim believes their line has been disconnected.

The offender then ‘phones them back and again attempts to obtain their credit card detail.

The main object is not the £9 but is to obtain the credit card data.

The caller is described as very professional sounding.

Please be vigiliant and never give your card details over the phone - please contact the Police if any calls of this nature occur .
