THEIR BRAZEN LIES EXPOSED . . .

THE GUISE:

Caller: ‘I’ve been asked to give you a quick call from the energy centre based in Swansea as we deal with Government grant schemes.

‘You’re getting £2,500 to £3,000 worth of work done for £400.’ THE PRESSURE: Victim: ‘I’m not interested.’ Caller: ‘No, you just don’t want a free boiler?’ Victim: ‘What’s the catch?’ Caller: ‘ There is no catch. It’s Government funding, that’s all.’ THE MANIPULATION: Caller: ‘I really want to guarantee this funding for you, OK. Just hold the line a moment please. OK?’ Victim: ‘OK, thank you.’ (The caller boasts to a colleague about the scam. After a stroll about the office and a puff on his e-cig, he returns to the phone.)

Caller: ‘Hello there, thank you so much for holding. I’ve gone to speak to one of the directors now and there is a way we can do it.’
