A lady in the County has highlighted this problem as she had a call recently.
Recently on the BBC program "Rip Off Britain" they highlighted the problem of people cold calling and asking for debit card details so they can send a trial offer of a product. If the details are given it is very difficult to stop continuous payments to the company; even the Banks do not have the mandate to stop payment.
NEVER give any bank details to unknown people over the phone and NEVER enter into a trial agreement by phone or on the internet.
