geared Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Go's without saying, if your bank asks for your bank details it's probably not your bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.Rossi Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Go's without saying, if your bank asks for your bank details it's probably not your bank. And pressing 5 has probably cost you £300. Get at least 3 of these every day on my answer machine, press 5 to claim your refund or 9 to cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SportsTrophy Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 You can call the ICO with the details who then map the data and deal with them accordingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyofborg Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 You can call the ICO with the details who then map the data and deal with them accordingly as they are most likely overseas the only way to deal with them would be with a plausibly deniable drone strike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are on every cheque that you draw so not exactly a secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
