Just had them on the phone saying I had won ?39,500 WHICH WOULD BE DELIVERED TO ME IN CASH BY 3 MEN, after I have counted the money I would then have to pay ?700 on one of these cards as this is the only payment they would accept. Seem too good to be true. The telephone person needed to verify the card earlier in the day and I suppose the ?700 would just then dissapear. Their number was 041 44 585 1534 if that is of any help

Yes. They have men claiming to be in the military with no access to funds and later ask for help with game cards or their flight back home
I can’t access my yahoo account so rang customer service and they telling me I need to buy a ?50 Google play card to verify who I am (how that is possible) they said it would be refunded. Call was made at 8.30pm Xmas day x
I was trying to get a loan online
Any phone number you find in an internet search that says it will connect you to Yahoo customer care is fake. Yahoo gives support by email, chat and articles, not by phone. Read this warning from Yahoo about fake numbers.
I have just been asked to send a ?30 Google play gift card so they can still talk to me online is this a scam ?
THEIR CHECK IS NO GOOD !
A Google play card does not help someone talk to you online. You can use it for apps, games, movies, TV shows, music, and books.

I have not lost any money yet but suspected this new scam was being played. I just wanted to share it with you. I received two separate unsolicited calls from different numbers within 20 minutes of each other. Both offered me a loan for 5000 – 7500 dollars. I only asked for 1000. Anyway. They would stretch it out over 36 months and the monthly payments would be $159 and $161 respectively. I was beginning to show interest but still thought it was odd. I had not secured this offer or signed anything. They said they could wire the money straight into my account later today. So I played along. I was curious how this was going to play.
