Default Fake Calls

The Number of Fake Calls is on the increase and I was surprised how quick people give there details.

My friend showed me just for experimental purposes how easy it was to get someone elses card. He pretended to be from Barclays and got all there details. Of course he didnt spend with it :P!

Hey, did you see this Fake Caller - Type A Message .. Computer Synthezied Voice Calling, it can be used to call someone with facility of choosing voice of your choice and caller id that you would like to display. Isn't this ridiculous? What's a need of this? Then there is a notice:

This is for novelty purposes only, you are not allowed to use any foul language, harassing messages, or anything else I should put here; nor are you allowed to use this free service for illegal means, stalking purposes, spamming, or for any other questionable means (at least it was better than "anything else I should put here"). Please ask if you are in doubt.
They say that we are not allowed to use the Free service for any illegal purpose... so you can PM them for paid service if you are interested in any illegal means

Ive worked in a call centre before, cold calling about a phone service. We needed bank details to complete the sale, suprisingly i found that the easiest were females in there mid 20's-30's, probably because i could talk to them more easier.

The older people (no offence) were more reluctant to give any credit card details out etc and always wanted to talk to someone about it first.

Just my opinion

I have checked this but how someone can do this and can snatch someone's identity . There is need of interaction between caller and representative .

This is pretty scary. I won't be giving my personal information to anyone that calls. I avoid telemarketers anyway.

I wouldn't give my details to anyone without verifying the phone numbers. If I smell something fishy, I'd call them personally on the number provided on their website or catalogue.

But one is not supposed to divulge the persoanl details to any caller - the banks clearly spell this that they are never going to call their customers for any confidentail information.
