Industrial Workers Office

(1/3) > >>

sbwhart:
Just bin cold called by a group calling themselves Industrial Workers Office, they told me as I had worked in heavy industry I was due compensation due to hearing loss as I had started work before legislation came in, similar to compensation that miners got for white finger (and we all know how the lawyers  screwed the miners on that one). I asked how they new I'd worked in industry who they were if they were a government office etc, they only gave vague answers to my ?.

They said they would call me back.

Have any of you UK guys had similar approaches.

Did a google search on them and came up with this.

It describes exactly the approach that was made to me.

I think its some sort of scam.

I had the same call about 30 mins ago Stew.

Unfortunately I took a different route.

I told him where to stick his phone and then hung up.

I got one from a young lady telling me I could sue my employer if I'd had an accident at work.
in no uncertain terms I told her I WAS the employer and asked he why she could not get a reputable job like a prostitute, at least they have some respect..............

Funny.  :scratch:

I've just ignored a "number withheld". As we usually do......  :thumbup:

We used to get calls here in the States... "important information about your auto warranty..." trying to sell an extended warranty. A co worker used to get the call 2 or 3 times a day at his desk and cell!
