The majority of us must have had by now the, “Amazon Prime has just charged £*** to your credit card, press 1 if this is not you” (or words to that effect) scam by now.
I have just had a variation on that scam, as usual a recorded message received via the land-line, but this time it was, “Thankyou for booking tickets with EMR from St. Pancras to Edinburgh, £*** has been charged to your credit card…blah…blah etc.”.
Now as we all know here that EMR doesn’t even run from St. Pancras to Edinburgh and the new wording of an old scam is risible but I wonder how many people actually do still fall for this garbage?
Actually, it has just occurred to me that I renewed my Senior Railcard online earlier today, so I am now wondering if this is just a coincidence or if the Railcard site has been hacked?
