MissAdventure dont beat yourself up about opening up the message, its so easy to do especially if youre busy - its what they bank on. It is a scam, dont play. I regularly get very official looking ones purporting to be HRMC, TV licensing, banks I dont bank with, computer etc etc they all try and scare you with "you must act now". They are generated overseas and they dont come under uk law.
I particularly dislike the phone calls that are "not trying to sell you anything" but are. They call you by your first name all pseudo friendly & know your address etc. I freeze them out, tell them to cease calling my number as theyre breaking the law & end the call & block the number if its given. I have in the past gone all basil faulty on them & then its they who put the phone down! They get your info from seemingly harmless quizes etc on internet sites.
Shall we reboot our cartoons thread again? 😁
