My VM landline was hi-jacked by a scammer!!!
After just over a month of serious problems with my VM landline, messages left by unknown callers saying that I called them when I have not. I had to keep dis-connecting my landline, and re-connect when I wanted to make a call. Messages were being left on my VM Voicemail, came home this afternoon and there was 5 messages on the VM Voicemail. The first message said (an elderly woman) '' I have decided not to transfer money from my bank''! I was shocked to hear this! A scammer that has hi-jacked my VM landline number to scam people, asking to transfer money!!! The implication could be so serious that the Police could incriminate the innocent person like me for being a scammer, very scary. Scammers are using highly advanced technology to even hi-jack peoples phones! 23 years I have had my landline number, and I will now loose it. VM are changing my number. Be careful all.
