Call on the landline from a Withheld number.
This isn't unusual as DH has a business website which displays our home number and has done for 20 years.
I hear a fairly well spoken, mature male voice with an English accent
Hello Is that Mrs Harpischord?
Yes
It's Detective ( something I didn't catch) from (name of my county) police here.
(Now I'm panicking as DS has not long left for work)
PC - We have arrested a David Harpischord and he says he lives at ( gives my house name, number and road)
DH name is similar
Me- Never heard of him. ( Luckily DH is here and name nothing like DS)
Policemen- can you tell me who does live at your address please?
Me- No, I have no idea if you are who you say you are.
And with that he hangs up!
I suppose I'm fairly sceptical by nature but he certainly sounded convincing.
What new scam is this?!
