Expert Opinion
Screen unknown numbers before answering to dodge persistent nuisances. Reports highlight repeated calls peddling fake holiday wins, like a three-night Barcelona getaway, tied to vague past purchases with unnamed partners. Callers push for a nominal £2.99 post-and-packaging fee to snag your card details, often leading to bank drains. Hang up immediately on such pitches—never share financial info. Block the line and report to authorities if it harasses further. These tactics scream scam, preying on excitement for freebies. Stay vigilant; genuine prizes don't demand upfront payments from strangers.
