justwise: A friend got a call from "scam" HMRC saying he under paid his tax and that if he doesn't pay today he would get arrested. He a student and been here for like 9 months so not really familar...... he was quite shaken by the call as the two indians were forceful. He almost fell for it and paid because of the fear of been arrested But people who have lived here for years, shouldn't fall for that. I can imagine u telling me such, I would say hiss first and say sure ....Police I dey house, I can even offer you a cuppa of tea 1 Like |

LagosismyHome: Let me be sincere, when I received that call, I was worried. The only thing that got me back was that I did not do my tax myself. So I just told myself, if they arrest me I will I sue my company. But, was indeed scared. But now, before u mention Jack Robinson I don press red button. |

justwise: That's the power of scams, she was told the money was refundable, if the warrant was deemed unnecessary..... As usual, it was Indian scammers. She had made two payments, before sending me a WA message.... I did not evev know she had made any payments. I just casually told her it was Indian scammers...... She went cold for about 5 mins (no replies), until she called me, saying she had been scammed.... I told her to call her banks fraud department, and not me...... Few minutes later scammers bank was contacted, block on account placed, she now awaits 21 days, to see if funds could be retrieved............. |

My "Nigerian Landlord" Scammed me too ![]() ![]() I made a post about Yorkshire water sending me repeated emails that I owe them £750, this was supposed to be part of my rent as seen in the housing Agreement BUT when the Yorkshire water agent came to my house, he met the landlord and the "Nigerian Landlord Scammer" told him that the student living in the house is responsible for the water bill. He never informed me about this. I got repeated calls from Yorkshire water during my stay but I thought they were Indian Scammers as I have received a lot of calls from them requesting me to pay for different bills, so I did not bother. I had to put a call through to Yorkshire water's customer service recently, they had it in their record, the date and time they met with my Scammer Landlord and what he told them. Unfortunately I do not have the agreement with me, I explained everything to the agent and I was told to pay 50% of the bill. @Justwise what do you think sir? Do I just go to the landlords house with boys on arrival? ![]() 1 Like |
