Despicable isn’t it and sadly, because people are vulnerable and expecting to hear something, people will fall for it.

When I log onto my online banking there is a first page prompt to telephone my branch if I want to claim for a Thomas Cook refund.

I expect to get a shedload of scam emails into the acount which was compromised!

It’s disgusting how low people will stoop got the usual calls at work today though. “Hello company name, How may I help you?” “Hello, Is this Carers Scotland?” “No this is company name.” It always ends the same way with them wanting to speak to the business owner and whoever has answered the phone telling them this is a charity and it doesn’t have an owner. Strangely they immediately hang up after that.
