AI Summary
Based on 1 community report
This Amesbury number is being used for a social engineering scam where callers impersonate 3 network staff. The report describes a sophisticated attempt that starts innocuously by asking for a postcode to "check coverage," then requesting an email address. The real danger comes when the scammer triggers a Microsoft security pin to be sent to your phone and then asks you to share it with them. This pin would give them access to your Microsoft account and potentially other linked services.
The caller hung up when the victim wisely refused to share the verification code. This type of scam relies on building trust through seemingly legitimate questions before requesting sensitive information. Never give verification codes to unsolicited callers, regardless of who they claim to represent. Legitimate companies will never ask for security pins sent to your device during cold calls.
