This morning I received an email from, supposedly, ING Bank offering me a job as a Financial Assistant (even though I hadn't applied for one) This is obviously a money-laundering scam where you would act as an intermediary (quite often receive those but from abroad).
On the email was a London fax no. to download my 'contract'plus an address and tel'/fax in Amtersdam.
Being the upright citizen I am I telephoned the police thinking they may be interested in the numbers etc. (which can be traced)
The response I got from the very laid back young copper (if he was awake at all) was nil, not interested, can't/won't do anything about it[:(!] His attitude was couldn't care less, not our remit.
It is possible for tel/fax numbers to be traced.
This made my blood boil, no wonder this country is such a mess[:(!]
In fact I might reply and make a bob or two from it because the Police obviously aren't interested.

My brother had his credit card cloned and decided to piece together all the information to find out where the second user lived and quite possibly his true identity. He took all this information to the police and they told him to take it up with his bank. They didn't even look at the information.
