Just received scam e-mail from very proffessionaly sounding "Dr Obassi" informing me that the Master card that I lost on my recent holiday has been passed into his office and I should rush £225.00 for delivery,I'm wondering when I went on holiday ?? so maybe he will not be to surprised that I am not rushing anywhere fast !!!! Please everyone be aware and make sure all our elderly relatives are up to speed on these fraudsters.
I have been on to Jacqui Lawson for some years - at the risk of advertising I must commend the advent calendar that they produce each year. You download it to your computer and click on each date - the scenes are beautiful and tasteful, and they keep up with the computer's clock so that they change the scene to nightime as the day progresses. They have interactive scenes in some days - make a snowflake, dress a tree etc. My GC are hopping up and down with delight that I have sent them theirs this year. Thye arrive with them on the email and they have to download them to their computers. I bought 3 - total cost £4.80 - can't be bad for a month's fun. They are a delight.
I love that website too jane the quality is superb. vampirequeen you are clever, what a lovely idea. I asked GD if she was going to write to Santa and she said "did it ages ago" nothing like getting in early to make sure
janeainsworth I have just discovered that site. The e-cards are delightful. I sent one to absentdaughter for her birthday last Wednesday, then another on Friday to apologise for not ringing her on her birthday and there is one on order for the elder granddaughter's birthday on the 28th.
vampirequeen What a good idea and what fun. I assume that the dying woman's fortune can be handled by someone less busy than Santa at this time of year.
What a lovely idea though vq. Your DGCs must be thrilled. My DGCs are too young for email but I like to send them e-greetings when the occasion suits, from Jacqui Lawson's website. The graphics and music are lovely. And in case anyone's wondering, I'm not advertising, just a satisfied customer
OK so we all get scam emails but this one takes the biscuit.
I set up an email account called [email protected] so that our children could email santa and he (I) could reply. Feel free to email it btw if you have children who want to email santa and I'll reply for him in a very evasive manor regarding presents rofl
However I digress. I opened Santa's emails today so I could reply to our daughter when I found there was a scam email from a dying woman who wants him to help her share her fortune with the poor. Nothing odd about the scam just that it was sent to Santa rofl
