Looks Like a Scam

[Ron Tamburrini]

Hi Guys
Just got a message from virgin Media

It reads there was a problem with your account in September click here and update your information or your account will be cancelled in three days .
First whats your password

Aye right , must think i'm still in short troosers

Can just see Virgin cancelling accounts without a phone call

Ron


Ps I got one these last month and still waiting for the dreaded cancellation

Are you gonna make any shows next year Mark, let me know which one's if you are

 

[Tubby-Nuts2]

Err! Ron, Maybe that's not such a good idea ! However, you did look very well with your red and blue stripy top and white shorts! ........ Hmm but watch that finger. ??

I get at least one a week from Paypal and more recently from BT...............a good indicator is that the genuine company's use your name as a salutation. I make a point of never replying or opening anything on line........I don't give my Mobile Number out either....and I will never use a mobile for Banking or anything other than making or receiving calls....call me old fashioned

Ron I have so many of these emails claiming to be from , Apple, Santonder , Loyds , Nat West , Paypal , Barcleys and to many others to remember , I also had a refund £550.00 from the tax man , All I had to do was type in my current bank details to receive this windfall . . quote from Ron "Aye right , must think i'm still in short troosers " Ron they don't go after the young ens because they'r to tuned in this sort of scam , no they go after the old ens who trust everything they read as gospel . If someone like Nat West says there is a problem with their account to many will try and sort it out even though they don't have a Nat West account , Sort of like the 70 year old granny who goes on holiday and falls in love with the 25 year old waiter , brings him home and then wonders why her bank account is empty and the house no longer belongs to her . Grow Old Gracefully but with a great deal more scepticiam than 10 years ago .

Not by mail, but by phone once a week to sell me .. I don't know, because as I hear somebody with a pakistanaise accent, I know by experience, i'ts always the same, so I said directly : ... no, thanks, bye bye ...
Nothing so far by mail ...

Well, it's not true, once for the fun I accepted an invitation, by phone, to a show, near my home . They were selling dishes, Limoges, with gold, handmade decoration he said, passing a dish to us .
Once in my hands, I showed and explained loudly to my wife, the joint of the transfer used as " handmade" on the rim . In no time, a guy and a women came to us to thank us for our visit, and giving us our "gifts" and pushing us outside . The room was full of "retired" peoples, only a few came out with us . We speak here of sets in 1000thds €
