    OFT warning regarding scam telephone calls on bank charges

    125/07 31 August 2007
    The OFT has been made aware of a scam involving consumers being telephoned by people, alleging to be from the OFT, asking for personal and financial information including their bank account details in order for the OFT to reclaim bank charges on their behalf.

    These callers have no connection with the OFT, and their intention is to use the information for identity theft or to run up bills or commit crimes using stolen details. The OFT will never contact consumers asking them for personal bank details.
    The OFT is warning consumers not to pass on personal or financial information to cold callers either over the phone or via email, and if they have already done so, to contact their bank as soon as possible and review their credit card and bank account statements to see if there have been any unauthorised transactions.
    For advice call Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06 or see the scams area of this website.

    Very righteous of the OFT all of a sudden.

    I think they prefer to let the banks steal our money.

    With these conmen around the banks will be losiing even more profit.
