Got to say that Barclays are crash hot on security. They have rung me twice over the past couple of years when I have made an unusual purchase quite different from anything their records show. |

It said on the news last night that BT are about to make it impossible for the caller to stay on the line like that. |

The current advise is to return the phone call from a different phone as is been known for scammers to still be on the line. |

OH had that happen to him, but in his case the Credit Card Co. stopped the payment, then e-mailed him, texted him and rang up, all within 5 minutes, to check whether the payment was genuine. |

OH had a phone call from "the security department of her credit card company" saying there was a problem with her card and asking for her password. |
