SCAMMERS !
Re: SCAMMERS !
I propose the formation of an ON QRF to help facilitate rescue operations as in the above request.
There is enough military experience, possible aviation assets, and certainly aviation expertise, to undertake just about any endeavor.
The rewards seem to be almost limitless..
I'm in!

Can anyone think of any problems?

My Santander bank account has been suspended for security reasons.
To get it back I have to visit a web site that seems genuine.

Re: SCAMMERS !
Been getting these recently. Thanks Telstra, these things are the reason I wanted a paper bill, but you've made it just about impossible to get one now. Since I don't do direct debits, and I can't think why an individual would be sending me a Telstra bill, I'm just taking a stab in the dark that this is a scam.

Re: SCAMMERS !
I just received a call from a German number about my computer sending faults. The both laptops (work and business) were off at the time, the voice with an Indian accent kept saying about calling from Microsoft and he could help me with my computer issues. I told him my computer was taken by an elf.

Not had a call for some time to press the Sea Tea Are El key. I let it go on for some time saying I don't have a Ctrl or an alt key. Eventually confess I am using an Android

Apparently our domestic appliances are in such dire need for repair cover, someone is calling every day to speak to us. The individual numbers vary but always start 0131.
It's always my fault - SWMBO

Re: SCAMMERS !
It is staggering that they hook anyone given their ineptitude in putting a scam together.
You could possibly make a legitimate profit selling properly crafted and well written fictional scams.
The lonely spinster and lovelorn OAP scams seem much better crafted.

Re: SCAMMERS !
The only scammy emails I receive seem from the subject-line to be offers of, um, masculine company for a more or less brief time.
I never open them so am not sure if money is expected to change hands or, if so, in which direction.
They've fizzled out for now as I've been reporting them all as phishing.

EcoChip
https://getecochip.com/offer?cid=wrofpe ... 0792984350
Usual click bait. Is this a get rich kick scam. You buy this bit of plastic OBD plug and they make £40 and you are supposed to save 30% on fuel.
What to the experts think?

Re: SCAMMERS !
Regarding OBD EcoChips, chatting with a friend, we know that you can 'chip' a car to increase its power output and presumably use more fuel.
Does the EcoChip work in the opposite sense, limit the fuel flow and power thus improving fuel consumption?

Re: SCAMMERS !
A new one, for me anyway. Received an sms this afternoon which read;
"Why did your Sister post this old video on-line?" along with the ususal gibberish link.
I don't have a Sister, to start with.
