Warning: bogus ‘H&H’ callers asking for payment details

Important warning for all advertisers from H&H’s Head of Classified sales

We have recently been made aware of several cases where advertisers have been called and asked for payment / card details due to a transaction not going through or a systems crash which has led to card details being lost.

Unfortunately these are scams which are becoming more commonplace and the people that are carrying them out are highly convincing professionals who are very astute at getting you to part with your card details.

Horse & Hound may call advertisers for payment details, however if you have an advert running with us we will always tell you at the time of payment if there has been a problem with the transaction.

If you do not recognise the person calling, or are at all unsure about the legitimacy of the call, then please do not give out your card details. Instead, end the call, then redial the Horse & Hound classified team on Freephone 0800 316 5450 to ensure that you are speaking to a genuine member of staff.
