fraud

Be aware.Customers of Telewest are being contacted to join in a research forum at internet cafes.You will be offered 35 pounds cash and 10 cash expenses.But you will be asked to bring your ebilling pin number with you.I have spoken to a Telewest controller and they are not conducting research nor would they ever ask you for your pin.The age group targeted is 50+ and recently making use of computers.I suspect the use of internet cafes is for the use of keyloggers.

Re: fraud

Wow, well I went to go to this Internet cafe in Liverpool tonight... it sounded a bit dodgy to me but I went anyway. I found it, eventually, but was 10 minutes late and saw a dodgy group of people sitting round in a circle talking. Needless to say, I sacked off the 45 quid (if you get it) and went home. Worrying. Anyone have any more news?

Re: fraud

The place was Tals internet cafe Smithdown road Liverpool.Using Uk info disk corerate a mate done a reverse number check with the number this scammer gave and got it to the Plumb center truro cornwall.I think the ebilling was because some people pay by credit card,in the section "pay this bill now"
