More total incompetence than a scam:

Had a scorcher today - 'Hermes' Text (yes, I know) but 'Could not deliver your package today at 10:05'. We were in and it was delivered yesterday.....................

Well aren't I speshal.

In my Junk folder, an email from "Dr Luckyman Hernandez" titled Good Day My Friend

I never open 'em. The names and subject titles are amusing enough

Two old ones yesterday. Mrs PN got a Talktalk call from 01610161161. I got the Royal Mail delivery one, the one without a fee.

Oooh, a call from the police, my NHS number has been suspended due to fraudulent activity. So no State Pension this month?

A friend of mine experienced some disarming honesty from 01279504548 today

Ring, ring, ring, ring.

Mate - "Hello?"

"Hello, my name is Olivia and I'm phoning you from the TalkTalk technical department..."

Mate - "Mwahahahaah! Are you still trying that old scam?"

"Er - yes. Have a nice day..."

Here we go. Incidentally I replied from a different account set up just for this purpose. I will change the accounts at random. Already sent to SpamCop. I could not find an IP address to track him.

Hello,

How are you doing? I need a quick favour from you. Please let me know.

Thank you

I need to get a Google play gift card for my Friend, it's her birthday. Can you purchase Google play gift cards 3pieces -£100 each at any nearby store?

I would reimburse you when I am through later today. I would have preferred to call you but can't receive or call at the moment with my line, let me know if you can purchase them now.

Thank you
Kev

Hi Kevin, why do you need three? Let me have her address and I can send them to her direct, save them getting lost in the post.

Obviously genuine PN. The mild earthquake that the citizens of Antibes felt was Capetonian turning over in his grave.

I also had a post office £2 request. I replied it wasn't worth £2 stick it.

Before these scams I did have a request force insufficient postage. It was about £3 and would have involved a 15 mile round trip. I guessed it was some bespoke car dust caps costing £1.99 and had been sent cheapest postage. I just claimed my money back and let the Post Office whistle.

Had an e-mail today, from "Mc@donalds" telling me I had won some gift tokens and to click on the link to claim the prize...yeah right!!

Posted: **Sat Aug 07, 2021 11:29 pm**

Had an SMS today telling me I had a voicemail from xxx, and click on a link to hear it. Since any voicemail from a Turkish magazine is unlikely to be important to me, I passed that one up.

There is some irony in a scam post promoting a captcha solving tool that didn't get through due to not correctly doing the captcha on my website.

A different e-mail scam today. Apparently my subscription to 'Windows Repair' is due to expire and to renew I should click on the link. Don't know how that works on me i-Mac.

Had two calls this week on Mrs PN mobile from Carphone Warehouse, heavy background noise but on the first gather they had an IPhone 12 offer at £40. As I have no idea of IPhones that passed me by.

Second call, Asian female. Same deal, I asked if she spoke English. She said yes and ploughed on. Did I have an IPhone or Samsung? No.
Could I tell her......? No.
Would I tell her.....? You obviously don't understand English.

She hung up.

How people can even understand what they are trying to scam you for I don't know.

I get calls on my Spanish smartphone, some wretched woman gabbling on and on in Castilliano. The phone displays the words "SCAM CALL" in large red letters over the number so it really isn't even necessary to answer. Really clever, that.

Just had an e-mail from Mark Zuckenberg, he of Facebook. Says he is feeling charitable and my e-mail has been randomly selected for me to receive a few million dollars if I click here etc.

Do you think this is a scam ? Could certainly use the money.

Pity that you can’t get out to spend it

Meanwhile petrol prices will no doubt be following suit soon

Didn't take them long, did it.

Hello dear

I hope this desperate call for help gets to you in good health. I’m an
Afghanistan helpless lady seeking your assistance. My husband and our son were
killed by the Taliban rebels a few days ago and they have forced me and my
daughter from our home. My husband worked with the former president who has now
gone on exile due to the withdrawal of the international military protection we
were enjoying before the US president withdrew them last month.

Please, I need your help to secure the only hope of survival that I and my
daughter have. I’ve paid some contacts to take me and my daughter to Tajikistan
or Uzbekistan, whichever is secure to travel to right now but I can’t embark on
this journey with the two boxes which my husband buried underneath a farm not
far from our house. These boxes contain valuables, gold and US dollars up to the
sum of 4 million Dollars. I’m handing over these boxes to the Red Cross team
going to the United Kingdom and I’ve informed my contact inside the Red Cross
that someone will be contacting him to claim the boxes. The Red Cross person
doesn’t know the content of these boxes as I told him it’s our family historical
books and photos and some materials that means a lot to my family.

Upon your response and acceptance to help me receive these boxes, I will forward
you the contact details of the Red Cross agent so that you can contact him
immediately,

I don’t have regular access to the internet to avoid being tracked but I will
try my best to check my email as soon as I can expecting to hear from you so
that I can send you the details of the person to contact at the Red Cross for
the claim

Thanks in advance for your understanding and much needed help.

Anyone want to contact the Red Cross about a box you'd like to claim so you can hand it back to her?

Posted: **Fri Aug 27, 2021 8:09 am**

What a mean biddy, I thought she was going to say that as she couldn't carry them, she was donating them to the Red Cross.
