Be aware a scam sending an email asking for postage before able to despatch asking to click on something I didn’t click but I assume it would be ask for bank details. Because lots more people ordering on line they are just picking people randomly. Take care all xxx

That's interesting! You are right, I, like many others had regular telephone calls from Asia pretending to be from BT or Lloyds bank before the pandemic. I had them most days but now I haven't had any for weeks. Perhaps the've got the virus!

Come to think of it, Roadrunner, I haven’t had my usual lunchtime call. The last half dozen or so were to let me know there was a European Arrest Warrant out for my arrest! The things I get up to!

Heard a programme on the radio about all the latest scams and the rise in online fraud during the Coronavirus lockdown. It was incredible what is going on.

Texts, emails purporting to be from the NHS among others. It’s of fake charity ones too. Please be vigilant about clicking on links in emails that look dodgy and never send your bank details.

Take care all
