Watch out, watch out, scammers about...

Just got the first part of the latest identity theft scam going round. I knew what it was, so hung up straight away...

From The Register's description of the scam:
In the first part of the ruse, a pre-recorded telephone call asks members of the public if they subscribe to Sky TV. A week or so later, the prospective mark receives a telephone call from a fraudster, posing as a Sky employee, claiming the customer's Sky subscription is unpaid and warning that their subscription will be suspended unless they make credit card payment.
The call I had was a recording of a woman's voice, posing as a maintenance company, wanting to sell support for satellite systems.

So be careful out there!

"Underground, overground, travelling free..."

Logos of the metros around the world that I've travelled on...




Got at b3co.com!


There are a few missing from the list. I've also used Denver's light rail, the trams in Croydon and Manchester, the VTA system around San Jose, and of course, Seattle's famous monorail.
