I just received an phone call from “Telegram Ltd” who claimed to have a telegram for the previous inhabitant of this property. I told them she didn’t live here any more and they asked for her new address. A little suspicion formed in my mind “do they still do telegrams?” I know Western Union stopped last year.
Well, after a bit of googling it turns out that “Telegram Ltd” is a company called “Capquest”, a debt collecting agency. So if you hear from someone on an 01252 number claiming to have a telegram or to be from the “Telegram Office”, take care. It will not only be a debt collector, but a dishonest one, and who could be less deserving of your help?
