So what have you done today..?

Just watching Restoration Home on tv it is a repeat of a series first shown around 2012 in the third of eight it features Stoke Hall which I spent nearly six years renovating , I missed a small amount of the filming due to my cancer lay up but it was a very interesting time. I am shown a couple of times.

Just discovered this on the iPlayer:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b7r2k6
Mortimer & Spinks Go Fishing

Not really into fishing but this is really interesting. Knew nothing of their health problems.

Just done 3 episodes straight off.

 

Had a lucky escape.

Received an e-mail telling me that my Paypal account had been suspended and if I didn't act quickly it would be suspended permanently. The "Dear Customer" introduction was most welcome.

So I immediatley logged in and entered all of my card(s) details, passwords and account numbers. I can sleep easy now, that I can now use my account freely.

 

That's a relief! Do you just want to put the details here so that we can 'check' it for you?

 

Funny I have had several of those, and each time I add my details, they still manage to hack my account. Cost me thousands. These sneaky fraudsters

 

I get then every week, sick of filling them in

 

Ermmmmm.... what if someone on here follows your advice - there's some that might ...................

 

They’d probably deserve it

 

Praise be to Allah that my dearly departed mother never had access to the internet... My sister and I had to intercept and wean her off quite a few postal scams over her twilight years. Miserable bastards that prey on the old, hanging is too good for them.

 

I was talking about people on here.

I work in cyber security at the mo, and I had one last week from Apple (yeah right) that was incredibly real. It was an invoice for an app jewels purchase, which I don’t do. Had my name, the sender address was incredibly close to apples, and on second view looked genuine still.

It’s only the fact it was sent to the wrong email address, I have several, that I don’t have an active card allocated to my iTunes account and when you opens the sender email and pasted into a note it wasn’t Apple.com.

It’s easy to see how people get taken in

 

got the car MOTd and had some posh coffee in creamo's neck of the woods

 

Busy productive morning and considering hitting the golf course at 1600 to see how many holes I can get in befor it’s dark

 

Easy tip. Copy the email address it comes from, not what it say i the name, then paste in to notepad or notes if on phone (whatever). If it doesn't end in the .com address you expect, treat as dodgy. Always look to the far right and find then last .com reference...eg bradders@apple/account/payments.scam.com

 

I got home from work this afternoon to find the wife waiting for me wearing riding boots and brandishing a whip.

"Oh shit" I thought

"Where the fuck are we going to keep a horse...…"
