Expert Opinion

Scammers often pose as legitimate services to extract payments, as seen here with a fake car hire at Milan airport. The caller, claiming to be 'Sam', demanded extra fees for a refund, leading to unauthorised charges of £368.47 before the credit card blocked more attempts. Always verify bookings directly through official channels rather than responding to unsolicited calls. Use secure payment methods like credit cards for easy disputes, and report suspicious numbers to Action Fraud. If targeted, freeze your card immediately and monitor statements closely to avoid further losses.

I transferred cash to the individual linked to this number to rent a car at Milan airport, but never used the vehicle. When I requested a refund, 'Sam' insisted I pay extra. Unfortunately I complied, and no money was returned; later he withdrew £368.47. My credit‑card provider blocked his subsequent attempt to charge another £250+ and eventually refunded the £368.47. In total I spent £519.18 on a hotel near the airport and a ride back from Lierna to Milan airport.
