Another scam alert!

I know it's a pain in the fundament but you should really read all the Terms and Conditions of anyone you buy from, sign up with, or indeed write posts for in forums for older people!

They are there to show you what they can and cannot do and by accepting them, which mostly you are required to do before advancing, you give permission.

And I say this as someone who did NOT read the T&C on GN and was amazed they could share what I wrote, but to be quite frank, I would probably have signed up anyway and hang the world-wide notoriety in store for me.

Thanks for sharing.
It is really very important to raise voice against such scammers.

There's another scam in our area at the minute. You get home to discover a red card from (you presume) Royal Mail saying they are holding something on your behalf and they give a number you should call to re-arrange delivery. The number is a premium rate one so you are left with a hefty phone bill and there is of course no parcel.

That's a good point Ana. I've noticed that you have to watch whether you're ticking "want" or "don't want". Am I just paranoid, or are there a lot of people out to get us?

You have to be careful when ordering from these places not to tick, or to untick, the box saying you agree to your details being shared.

On a lot of them now you have to tick the box if you don't want your details passed on, and people don't notice.

Soon to be renamed DeceiveyLife?
