Watch out for this scam

Watch out for what appears to be a scam. Someone will phone you and ask if you want to sponsor a book that seems to be health related. You say no, but a few months later they will phone you again and ask what local schools you want the book to be distributed to. You tell them you don't know what they are on about, they insist you said yes to the sponsorship and when you get a bit annoyed, they say they will invoice you for £1799.

This happened to me. I don't even rememnber getting the original phone call, but I am certain that if I did, I said no. When they phoned back, they didn't even know my name!

It's an unweanted sales tactic at best, or at worst it's scam. Watch out.
