I think it was called the "The Real Hustle" on TV a few years 2 men 1 woman. Totally opened my eyes to how blatent, easy or creative scams had got had got.

Like standing outside a bank night safe in a uniform and shop keepers handing over takeings without question.
Mobile phone cons the list just went on.

More and more sophisticated these days

Just had a run of cold calls from "Sky"

They identify themselves as working for sky to reduce my plan.

Soon as I mention my phone says its Sky calling the phone gets cut off . . . by them.

Mobile Phone Service providers.

Been with Plusnet quite a while decent deal. 7GB U/U for £6.00PM

News came through that EE were taking the Plusnet customers as P/N was shutting the Mobile Service down.

Was offered the same deal after a long conversation as EE were only giving 5GB

Finally decided to bite the bullet and off we go.

Plusnet (P/N) say this
EE say that

Wanted my old number.
SIM arrives - New Number.

Plusnet (P/N) say this
EE say that

Contact the both.

Plusnet (P/N) say this
EE say that

Total contradiction each phone call. and constantly interuped simply because I wanted things totally clear.

I got there in the end, if only the 1st person knew what they were talking about then 15 mins it would have been sorted.

Looking forward to the customer feed back survey.

End result, 5GB U/U £4 Monthly rolling contract + reception is all better.
