FRAUD CALL? 'THIS IS NOT A BIG POINT OK!' says Martin Parker from Platinum Holiday, when I asked him how he got my number!!!

BEWARE SCAM CALL!!!

Most likely a fraud! This dude first called 2 days before this call demanding our address as soon as he introduced himself. But after telling him that we were busy, he said he would call again 2 days later. His number is 'UNAVAILABLE' on the CID. This fraud caller uses a phony name of Martin Parker from a company called Platinum Holiday.

"THIS IS NOT A BIG POINT OK!!!"

I agree no one is perfect but this guys real accent and Spoken English got clearly exposed a few times when I cross questioned him. The reason I doubt him, a supposedly professional marketing executive, as a fraud is because, in addition to his changing accent and few grammatical errors , on inquiring as to where he got our number from, he gets irritated and responds by saying 'This is not a big point ok!!!'.

Are you a Victim? Have you got a call from Platinum Holiday?

How many of you have got such spam calls? I wonder if genuine companies make calls from hidden numbers. The below are sites which came out when I googled for Platinum Holiday and while 1 website gives the details about this fraud company's offers, 2 of them mentions about few of the victims of Platinum Holiday scandal who gave away their credit card details and lost their cash. Few victims also explained how the Fraud Callers were also rude to them when they inquired about their website, contact details and the source of their number:
