Sure2Support
A friend has just phoned me to say she received a scam phone call today. The Indian sounding caller asked for her by name and then told her she had agreed to pay them £49 to stop telemarketing calls to her telephone.
She knew that she hadn’t and apparently got into an argument with the caller who refused to take no for an answer!
I’m guessing that they were hoping she would fall for the scam and were going to ask her to “confirm” her card details so they could help themselves to her money.
They gave her a phone number, but she thinks it was fake. I haven’t reproduced it here and she thinks it was actually the phone number of a legitimate business.

Hi, just had yet another call from Sure2Support. Guy announced himself as Richard Anderson..said he was living in London despite speaking with a string Indian accent. Again same figure of £49 quoted. I told him that I would report him and he rang off. Please everyone, dont fall for the Sure2Support scam.

Got the same phone call tonight, some bloke pretending to be Indian with pretend call centre noise in the background. I recorded the call and threatened Trading Standards , but predictably the number was blocked.

Same thing here, have now started a claim of fraud against them. They now call themselves SAIS Corp. If you look up 0393-293446, which is the number that appeared on my caller display phone, you’ll see someone even says that these people quoted his birth-date and bank account details to him. I actually asked them which card I was supposed to have given them details of, but they wouldn’t tell me, claiming it would be against data-protection act.
They gave me a phone number too, but the number is not valid, I tried it.
