Popular Post rwill Posted August 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2022 My wife got a call yesterday from someone claiming to be from Villa Market. They knew her name too. They told her we had an order with them and if we wanted to add anything to it. I happened to be next to her and told her we did not have any order from Villa Market and that it must be a scam trying to fish for your credit card number. Anyway I am guessing it is most likely a scam. 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 2long Posted August 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2022 Luckily my wife spends every waking hour on two phones to her friends and family. Gossip, lottery, how spicy the last som tum was etc etc. Even though Villa Market would get her attention more than I can, I still reckon that she's too busy to receive these calls. ???? 4 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Excel Posted August 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2022 Just now, nikmar said: she didnt say, but she does answer and sort of plays with them a bit. Well if it is the same number simply block it. If it is different numbers but same subject etc undoubtably it is a scam. You can keep blocking them, but their auto dialing facility will probably last longer than your patience. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeptic7 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Scam. I did have an order that would not go through, as suddenly my credit card kept being rejected. So Villa market in Patts called and the girl said she could fill the order, have it delivered and the delivery guy would bring the credit card machine. Went through without any issues, as I knew it would. CC problem has since been resolved. Excellent service from Villa! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaglekott Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 When I get called from unknown numbers, I just say "English please" then they say "Solly" klick.... Sometimes not even Solly. One time someone called me and she said she was from some bank and I said "English please" she replied in perfect english "Sorry Sir, but I don't speak any English at all. Have a good day" and she hung up. Her pronunciation was absolutely perfect. That surprised me. If its Important like call from my Car dealer they find some one that can talk English while you wait.
