FLYER Forums

Hi

We are getting reports of advertisers receiving phone calls from someone claiming to be from their bank.

The caller is suggesting that Flyer/Seager Publishing has taken 12 fraudulent payments from their account. The advertiser is invited to provide bank details so that the bank can ‘change the codes’.

Needless to say this is a phishing scam!

Thanks

Ian

Ian,

We've been 'phished' by these scammers this morning. London accent purporting to be from Yakovlevs' online bank, investigating 13 unsolicited payment taken by Flyer. Not overly convincing, but thanks for the heads-up.

Thanks for the update.

Ian

Suspect their MO is to buy magazines and start ringing the advertisers.

Slight swerve of topic, but is this really the best the scammers can do ? .....

We had a call from “Barclays” who we don’t bank with but they named the previous owner who did.

Following on from the funny scam I posted from whatsapp above...... does anyone really fall for this?

Obviously I replied to keep it going....
