Whos been a silly girl then!

Cant believe Im so stupid. I just had a call from some woman saying she was from the Warrington Crime Statistic Survey.

 

She asked to speak to the owner of the house.

She then asked if we had an alarm fitted either privatly or by the council.

 

I said we had but it never worked!!!!

 

She asked if we were part of a nieghbourhood watch scheme

 

I told her that even though there was one on the main road it didnt include our close.!!!!

 

She then asked what type of property it was

 

I told her it was semi!!!!

 

She thanked me and hung up.

 

Then I suddenly thought, B-----y H--l, Thats out of order ringing and asking people for those details.

 

So I did 1471 - withheld number, theres a surprise.

 

Then I realised, What a muppet, Ive just given all those details to a stranger.

I think Im quite savvy really and am always telling people to be wary and careful and yet I just totally went with it.

 

Am now going to start boarding up the windows!!!!

Hmm... Time to get the rottweiler you didn't mention on the call

It's amazing how easily we all impart information before engaging our brains!

There are always stories going around about the helpful bank/cc companies checking about fraudulent use on your card; if you can just confirm all the details and then give security code to check that it is the right card!!!!

I live in the North West as well. Can you be a bit more specific about your actuall address please.

 

Well............I am a Scouser, what do you expect?

[loopinlouie]

I just had call asking for another suspect name asking me to confirm I was this person etc......Said they were encouraging people to buy wills off them.

 

Theyll be ringing to flog loo roll next,

Have you been broken into yet??

[1stlifeline]

Nope, not yet!!!! That could be due to the fact that I dont dare leave the house. Only joking. Will be a lot more alert in the future though,I hope.
