That's a clever one. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks. It looks quite good. And if you’re in complete lockdown as we are, it’d be tempting to respond to find out who used our car!

I've just received a WhatsApp message, claiming to be from the NHS, with a url to download giving details on self isolation and Coronavirus symptoms. The NHS logo looked like it had been hand drawn by a 5 year old and it had a pair of bunny ears at the side of it! Deleted.

I’ve been getting emails “thanking me for my order” with a link to click for the invoice and order details. I’ve ordered nothing, so redirected it to the phishing website of my provider. Be aware that these are about, too. They look really convincing.

We all need to be on our guard as some are more convincing than others.

Clearly yours wasn't convincing at all Chewbacca maybe it was done by a particularly clever 5 year old!
