The
phone rang the other morning.
I picked up, there was a satellite delay then a male South Asian accent
“Hello,
am I talking to Ms Bentonbag?”
“Who are you?”
“Hello
ma’am, I am David and I am calling from BT, British Telecom, which is in charge
of all internet activities in the UK.”
“No
it isn’t.”
“Yes
it is. Why do you say that?”
“Because
I live here.”
“No
ma’am, all the internet in the UK is run under BT.”
“No
it isn’t. I do not have anything to do
with British Telecom, they are not my internet provider. I get my broadband from a cable provider that
is not BT.”
Then,
more to himself or someone with him than me, “Well! What should I do now?”
“Personally I think you should go away and stop pestering people.”
And the next noise I heard was the dialling tone.
Some friends have suggested that perhaps the scammers use my number as a training exercise.
I’m beginning to suspect they may be correct.
