Hi

Hope this is the right place to post this.

I had a phone call on Saturday, supposedly from VM, saying that they had some "good news" for me.

I am always suspicious when this kind of thing happens. They wanted to know some characters from my password. I never give anything out like this when someone calls me. I just tell them to write to me, or email me with the address they hold on file for me.

Do VM make calls like this? If they do, has anyone any idea what they might have been offering?

It always infuriates me when we are always being told never to give out personal information to cold callers, yet even my bank calls me, and asks for security information! They get told the same thing!
