Nov 28th, 2007 | By Citizen Media | Isle of Wight News From The Island PulseConsumer Direct has been made aware of a scam involving consumers being telephoned by people, alleging to be from Consumer Direct asking for personal and financial information as part of a survey.
These callers have no connection with Consumer Direct, and their intention may be to use the information for identity theft or to run up bills or commit crimes using stolen details.Â
Consumer Direct will never contact consumers asking them for personal bank details.
Consumers are advised 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.
Consumer Direct does conduct surveys in order to monitor performance, but will always write first so that the call is expected.
For advice call Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06.
