Scam sent to mobile.

ElaineI - I got the same message and it looked authentic so don't beat yourself up. However, I know that you don't have to apply and also that I would never quality in a month of Sundays and the deadline of that day was another giveaway because that's the typical scammer's technique - make you rush into something for fear of missing out. I know what I'd like to do with all these criminals!

I'm much more cautious after being scammed early this year. I had this text but know you don't have to claim and that I'll get it automatically. I was lucky when I was scammed the bank gave me my money back. I don't know if the bank got it back though!
When I get suspected scam calls, if I'm not busy I try to waste their time for a while to reduce the number of other people called. Eventually I call them out and hang up.
Once when I called out a scammer he called me a F***ing B**ch! Nice!

I nearly got scammed when I received an email from my friend asking me to send an Amazon voucher to the value of £50 to her daughter saying she couldn’t manage to send one in time for her birthday - these scammers try all sorts of tricks, in this one my friend had been cloned 🤬🤬🤬🤬 I’m now well prepared for future scams these scammers will need to get up much earlier than me to scam me it just won’t happen so b off

I have a Google phone and there's a Google Assist on there so if I'm not sure I used that and it takes a message for me. Scammers usually finish the call before the message has ended.

I got a text this morning, just a phone number..it said, I'm close by , phone me...must be a scam, hoping I'll phone the number...
