Just a quick one to be aware of the many offers that seemed to sent out at the moment asking for you to register for coupons and prizes etc. They are good but consistent in format to each. Hover mouse over link if it does not go to the named site 99 times out of 100 it is a phishing email!

Hi offcut

Funny that but I've had a few from bags recently and still trucking posted an amazing one. How do they get our details?

I got a message "from my baker" saying he was stuck somewhere and could I send him some money?

When I telephone him to let him know he had had numerous calls but legally couldn't do anything about it. What a world we live in.
