I had a phonecall from someone telling me I was entitled to £7,500 . I acted excited and thanked him and told him to post me a cheque through . Should have heard him stuttering ,trying to tell me it doesn't work like that .😀

That was smart of you. I must remember that.

So far, I've had email /txt scams from companies pretending to be the following:

 

BT

HSBC

Paypal

Boots

Tesco

Morrisons

Malware

 

Beware the unwary!  Don't get caught out.  Some of them seem genuine at first glance  (Clever logos and ways to get you to open attachments)

Just remembered I very nearly fell for the Facebook scam when Wilkinsons was closed . Nearly ordered 500 quids of Wilkinsons stuff for 40 quid  .

As with practically everything, if it looks too good to be true, then it is, I’ve never bought that much on-line anyway.

This keeps coming up on facebook with photographs of parcels claiming to be from the Royal Mail. It looks authentic but I don't suppose it is.
