Poll: Has someone tried to scam you over the phone?

Alice Angeloni Reporter from Marlborough Express

A retired Marlborough woman has been scammed out of $10,000 of her savings.
Police said the woman was called by a man claiming to be from Spark. He convinced her to give him remote access to her computer.
The scammer managed to gain access to the victim’s bank accounts, transferring funds between accounts and then out to another external bank account.
Have you received a call which could be a scam?
