<p><strong><a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/01/20/cpw_phone_insurance/">Carphone crackdown on phone insurance scam</a></strong></p> Story from 2005 but relevant today: I’ve been pestered by scam calls about phone insurance since buying my iPhone from Carphone Warehouse yesterday—the scammers apparently wardial against Carphone Warehouse’s assigned blocks of numbers. Caused a bit of a scene on Twitter until I figured out Carphone Warehouse weren’t actually at fault. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/insurance">insurance</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/iphone">iphone</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/scams">scams</a></p>
