Possible Scam - Calls from 07458 122813

Just received a call from 07458 122813.

I never answer calls from numbers I don't recognise, so I rejected the call and searched it online.

On who-called.co.uk/.../07458122813 there are several reports that the caller is claiming to be from the National Autistic Society soliciting donations or Gift Aid details. A user reports: 'Very troubling. Was convinced until background noise got in way.'

The above user's comment suggests that they are autistic, as am I.

It's worrying that we should be receiving this call as autistic people. I just happen to have expertise in infosec and scam-spotting. It may be a coincidence, or it may be that our details have been leaked. I'm not going to make guesses or accusations at this point - I'm just putting this out there for information. Please spread it around. There are many autistic people out there who are very vulnerable to this kind of thing.

    Thanks for the heads up I love scam callers I wind them up over the phone and then hang up my mum was exactly the same lol. But if it was from the national autism society I probably would have taken the call seriously.
