Talking about it on BBC this morning.
Can particularly affect the vulnerable or elderly.
Basically you respond to a genuine looking letter telling you that you have won a prize.
Once you are hooked, you get put7 on a list, your details are sold on to other scammers and you get bombarded.
Can also then contact you by phone, text or email.
The poor woman on the programme lost an incredible £50k
Please if you have elderly or vulnerable relatives please check they have not succumb to this. |  |

I dont respond to anything by e mail or phone sent to me.
Any issues with who ever your dealing with when you contact them, just explain "afraid of scam" |  | | |

It's like the scam caller/email's older brother |  | | |

Absolutely the right way
Every vulnerable person should be told not to interact with anyone they do not know via these methods .
Write me a letter is a good mantra |  |

I never answer the "house" phone and have not done so well before covid ! It's always Clive from Amazon or Susan from BT. Same with my mobile with no number and when talking to Doctors, Hospitals...etc I always tell them this when they take my details and tell them to always leave a message or and a return contact number.
I don't do any social media FB,Twitter, tiktok ...etc and why would you? with pictures of your house,your car, your life....strange? I leave that for the kids,chavs,the show off's and the needy, apart from internal emails in work on average I send 1 or 2 emails a week.We are a no cold calling cul de sac registered with our local council and any cold calling we report straight away to them. Junk mail is straight in the recycle bin with my name and address ripped off The more you keep yourself under the radar the better ðŸ‘Keep your friends & family close. [Post edited 26 Jan 2023 9:51]

I received an email asking for all my bank details and I was worried for a minute that it might be a scam but it turned out it was from the Nigerian minister of finance so I knew I could trust him. |  |

I do FB, but not to show what I had for dinner, or pictures of my latest acquisition.
The ones I don't get are people saying "Just off this morning to ... for two weeks"
May as well put a post up saying "Hey Mr Burglar, help yourself, key is under the mat"
Shred everything I don't need to keep.
Don't give an info to unknown callers.
I have had some emails from some lovely sounding ladies.
May reply to them later
What do you mean they don't really want me ?  | |
