If you are called by a scammer and asked to press a button (eg press 1 to...) it is impossible for you to be charged a premium rate call.
Many said they were worried about this, having had similar calls to the HMRC scam one I tweeted about yesterday. So I wanted to clear it up (and I've double checked with Ofgem).
However if you call them, or if you click to call back after they've left a voicemail or from a missed call, you may be charged a premium rate. So the best thing if you're in any doubt is exercise caution and not engage.
Frankly anyone calling you out of the blue to tell you you must take urgent or secret financial (or tech) action is almost certainly a criminal scammer (common ones are from HMRC, Microsoft, delivery firms, NHS). Be very wary.
Any reputable organisation will have a way you can contact them (find their number independently, don't use one from the potential scam call) to check if the call is real, if you're worried.
These people are clever, nasty, conscience-less criminals who prey on inattention, fear and vulnerability. The sooner laws are tightened to stop them having access to mass calling, and social media sites, the better.
🤯 The Conservatives are planning to drop their £11.6bn international climate finance pledge.
🥀 Labour have rowed back on their £28bn 'green industry' pledge.
💚 Only the Green Party are committed to doing what is necessary to tackle the climate crisis AND bring down bills.
The English Water Industry is valued at £80bn and that is generous.
They have £60.5bn of debt, all secured against YOU.
That means it would take only £19.5bn, maximum to buy the lot.

Sajid Javid wants us to double MP's Salaries because that would produce better 'quality'.
There has never been a quality Conservative MP at any cost.
But I think Teachers, Doctors and Nurses all deserve at least double.

Good news that the High Court have ruled sending refugees to Rwanda unlawful.
Terrible news we still have a government & Labour that won't stand up for refugees basis & say no human being should be illegal.
@TheGreenParty say refugees welcome here.

The death of at least 78 refugees off the coast of Greece is yet another crime against humanity.
Until we dismantle the racism of barbed wire across Europe, fellow human beings will continue to perish at sea.
May their souls rest in peace.
Enough is enough. The public should decide who enters the House of Lords and who has to leave. Sign @electoralreform's call to replace the unelected Lords with a smaller elected chamber. https://t.co/4rpS7fMSkX
