Anyway, I was concerned that my bank account was going to be hacked of sorts so I needed to find out what was going on.
I locked a few of the bigger accounts and then actually rang the helpline that was offered, probably a dumb idea
To cut a long story short he, Martin Bruce answered the phone and I asked what was going on and how could he offer a refund on something that hadn't been paid yet.

Just turn on your computer he said and I will send a form to complete and a refund will be immediate.
I refused and let him know this is probably a scam and I would deal with it.
He told me to get ****** and hung up.



So Have i compromised my Phone number and could my phone be tracked because i made that call.


Many thanks. Leon
