good idea.
most crime is now carried out remotely, online, or over the telephone.
forewarned is forearmed.
how about it , HQ ?

Yes, good idea.

We could check back on which scams are on the go, as they often reappear after a while.

Good idea ixion. There are so many scams now.

I wonder whether it would be a helpful idea to have a separate thread to post incidences of scams?
I know these can be helpful to many, judging by the responses, but I fear that sometimes they may get 'lost'' within a busy 'Chat' thread.
It might be useful as a reference point and a concise piece of information for people wishing to check others' experiences of a particular contact they have received.

What do people think?
