Fake 'BT' caller fleeces elderly victim of £30k in APP app scam

Ivan Headache

Re: Amazon iPhone 7

I get the Amazon calls almost daily on my land-line, generally they display an 020 number from my local area. Sometimes it's the 'security department from your bank'. Strange that it's the same voice each time!

I also get scam calls to my mobile - particularly 'from' Manchester and Liverpool.

The other day I had one from Rekyavik. So I answered it.

"Hello, am I speaking with Mr Ivan Headache?" said a sweet Asian voice.

" Yes. But why are you calling me from Iceland??

"I'm not, I'm in south-east Asia..."

I think the penny dropped for her.

Then last week. I was in Edinburgh and a call came though from Yeovil.

"Good Morning." in my stentorian voice - knowing what's likely to be coming.

There's a pause and noisy office sounds with female Asian voices chattering, then a male voice.

"Hello Am I speaking with Mr Ivan Headache?"

"Chief Inspector Ivan Headache speaking."

Slight pause, ".......ah!" then the line went dead.
