    Simple. Get a answer machine as I have and let it go through. If they get the answer machine message they hang up even when automated. If it’s someone you no just pick up juring the message. Best thing I ever bought for scam n all that *****.

    Thanks for your good wishes DR. Well it's ICT who we face on Tuesday with the return at Tannadice on Friday.
    On a side note Cove Rangers of the Highland league have beaten Berwick Rangers 4-0 in their first leg tie. Looks like the end of league football for Berwick.

    One of my female friends from Donny, is married to a farmer she met in Tenerife and their farm is
    in Berwick. Her husband is a keen Berwick Rangers supporter. Him and their other four supporters
    will be absolutely gutted tonight. I bet you're OK with playing Cally Thistle aren't you.? You finished second
    nine points better off than them in third, so lets hope you can do it.

    Well we did beat them a couple of weeks ago and they showed very little. But this is still a tricky tie. Won't be a walk over but over the 2 legs I'd expect us to be better than them. Then it looks like a 2 leg final v St Mirren with the second leg in Paisley. Could be a tight affair.

    A few months ago. I answered the phone to hear.. A female voice say... We understand you've been involved in an accident is that correct... I replied I have and I'm suffering from whip lash... Hold the line I will put you through to my manager was her reply ( I put phone on speaker mode) ..... I waited a minute or so and this guy speaks and runs through the same 2 questions to which I repeat my answers... He then says when did this happen... I replied about 10 minutes ago I will pass you over to the police officer dealing with it... Handed my mate the phone who went... Good afternoon constable.... phone hangs up... Needless to say not been called since... Lol

    Ezekiel Abimbola as recently passed away leaving over £100 million to charity, apparently according to his will he kept trying to give it all away but nobody replied to his emails

    I'm almost certain the club don't have this number. I've basically given it to no-one ever, certainly no companies other than 3.

    I was amazed when a Barnsley number called me on my mobile. The only thing I can think of is that the club might have my number via joining Redfearns.

    Well I wondered, Gally. As I say I'm not the most tech-savvy on here. Do you think that still leaves vulnerabilities? And more to the point, do you have any recommendations we should follow to allow us to avoid the scammers? Any advice gratefully appreciated. [By all, I'm sure.]

    It’s only thing everyone getting these calls has from first glance got in common. It’s very suspicious.

    True, apart from other people may have had them too but we’re the only one’s commenting and thinking anything of it as it’s a Barnsley area code. You could very well be right though by the sheer number of people here who’ve had one.

    That's because the only thing that everyone on here has in common is that they're on here. Other people not connected to the club or here will have had them too. A mate of mine who lives in Sheffield and who has no interest in football at all got one. He asked me if I'd called him from Barnsley as he hadn't answered it.

    I got a similar call when driving up to Barnsley on Wednesday morning. The number was 01226 008621. I did have to have my windscreen replaced in January, but I worked out that there was little point in suing a stray lump of granite even if I could trace it.

    I don't answer a number that isn't on my phone memory, but on the odd occasion they do catch me out. When they ask, "Is that Grandfathertyke?" I answer with, "No, he's in prison. Can I get him to ring you when he gets out?" They usually put the phone down then.
