Labour plans ban on global scammers’ spoof phone calls to UK
Sunak government could ‘swiftly’ end spoofing calls, says Emily Thornberry in criticism of delayed fraud strategy. Labour has pledged a crackdown on global scammers who call UK phone numbers to con people out of their money, and criticised the government for a five-month delay in producing a new fraud strategy.
The whole call was automated with recorded responses. They are looking for the female in the house; more easily to pressure for donations? They were calling a little after 8:30 am and looking for, first, a $50, then $25, then $15 donation. After insisting that they can only accept $10 donations, they wanted credit or debit information. Shady from start to finish.
