      Mimi - they just get cleverer and cleverer. It's a good job you were one step ahead.

        I don't answer any International calls as I have no friends or family living abroad now.

            The Amazon calls keep coming!

            I've only heard about this one second hand, but it's better to pass it on and hopefully save someone from getting caught. Barclays Bank ringing from an authentic phone number saying it's their Fraud Department and asking to confirm some details. They say there's been suspicious activity on your account, but then go on to ask for detailed identification. The victim was asked to call back in 2 hours.

                I had a email supposedly from DRS yesterday, claiming they had a package for me but I had to pay for delivery first.

                Apparently if you click on the link in the email it can put a virus on your device, so watch out for that one everyone.

                      Since my mail account was hacked, I have changed so many passwords, I got a mail this morning, saying he knows all my dark secrets????? and will publish them if I don't pay 500 dollars today. I panicked when I read it then decided not much I can do about it, or is there????

                        Ignore that one Lizzie, and don't worry!

                        I had that several months ago. The alarming thing was they do have a password right - one I used years ago and have changed several times since then.
                        I Googled and it is a scam, one that frightens people. So, ignore it. I had the same mail twice, then they gave up, so don't worry if you get another.

                              Gem - many thanks for that link. It's really useful, and reassuring.
