Just a quick warning. Probably nothing to do with recent bereavement.
We are all suffering from brain fog and probably doing all the “sadmin”, ringing banks and utilities, etc.
I just had a recorded message claiming that some unauthorised payments to Amazon and an overseas account for several thousand pounds. Then you are told to press 1 or 2. If this happens to you, Hang Up!
I don’t know what payments he made with his card prior to death, and in my current state of mind it would have been easy to press 2 “for support”. Luckily, I didn’t.
Be on your guard. We are easy pickings right now.

My friend had the same call yesterday.
She hung up.
If in doubt hang up.

My mum gets calls like that all the time. We screen the phone and if it’s a weird number we let it go to voicemail. But sometimes when they ring the number shows up as a local number, with the same area code as ours.
