Susie, I always feel that if anything is so important and its someone you know well enough, they can always reverse the charges and speak directly to you rather than leave a message, I never trust messages from people I dont know and if I ever pick up my phone, I say hello and if that person doesn't speak straight away I put the phone down, if I hang on, nine times out of ten its one of those useless calls trying to sell me rubbish I dont want, or more often just a call centre.

Susie its a scam, google MCS on UK and see, I have copy and pasted this for you, I found this . I have an answering machine message from 'MCS'. Is it a scam? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- They said that they had a message waiting for me. This seems like a scam as surely wouldn't they just tell me the message? I've searched the internet and can't find anything on MCS, but does anyone else know about this kind of thing? I had one of these aslo last Friday. Very polite voice on phone, when I was trying to interupt him, asking who he was from, (was something like mcs) he continued saying he had a massage etc then hung up. It also was a 0871 number. Big Scam! Dont panic, you did the right thing. Gillie xx |
