Just had a text from “Evri” telling me that my parcel couldn’t be delivered, with a link to click on. Unfortunately for those idiots I have nothing on order and everything has been delivered safely by Evri and, even if I had, I would never have clicked on the link.

Text swiftly deleted.

Not sure if all of you will see this as a scam but it is a pain, the chuggers are back. We have had two on the doorstep asking for charity money over the last week. I do donate to charities but I pick them myself not as a result of people knocking at the door.

They would be lucky to find me with any cash these days.I always made sure I had some to give to the local Rotary Club at Christmas. They used tour locally with a motorised lit up Santa on a sleigh every December, but that seems to have stopped since 2019. They collect outside of Tesco now.

I wonder how my Postcode Lottery shyster is getting on. O_o

Well here's a new low.

My Father (85) has been sending me dodgy e-mails. Or so I thought - it wasn't him, I rang and checked. The e-mail which landed in my inbox looked dubious from the start, not his e-mail address next to his name for a start, and a weird looking site to view the photos he'd allegedly sent. I then found three more in the spam-box. All quickly and permanently deleted, and I've warned him to do the same with anything that looks wrong.

Utter shysters. md1

I had a text and email to say that someone has hacked into my Google account so I should change the details. Well, if it was a scam I’m ignoring it. If it wasn’t a scam then I can’t do anything because I’ve never used a Google account so don’t know any of the details even if I did open one. 😳
