Lots off them claiming to be from amozan saying you won a priize and to send £1.99 so they can process it. Latest is Parcel Force tried to deliver a parcel but nobody in . There is a telephone number but when you ring it always says no number existits dead give away never been charged for ringing.  Now its you got a parcel coming from currys today wich you know you never ordered.  Makes you wonder why they bother as they aint even asking for bank details now.. Think they are trying to find out which bank you use as a starter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

alandrea0   16 #463 Posted May 12, 2021 Watch out for this scam... You have a message or email waiting for you on Facebook! Skype, Paypal or any other popular website.. The link in those messages have a link to a ghost website... or can end up sending virus to your PC or phone.  I have read that some people open and go to these scam websites just out of curiosity, please do not DO THAT... You never know if you will end up downloading malware or a virus... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Ideally, the PO text scammers might target the executives whose fault that was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
