Prime Scam

Been notified of a scam that is circulating today and is mainly targeted at call centres although they could try and ring any number. Call are being reported nationally coming from 020 379 57734. The calls suggest they are from Amazon and saying that your Amazon Prime subscription has expired. The callers don't actually know if you have an Amazon prime account but they will offer to renew your subscription and take a payment over the phone. You can protect yourself by not giving out any personal information about yourself to unsolicited callers. If you do use Amazon prime log into the Amazon website and check your own expiry date. If you get a call from any organisation asking to take a payment you can always hang up and dial the a published number on the company's web site or recent bill.
