Plenty of scams about, glad you did not fall for this one, but I bet many do,Rick

Usually the biggest give away for scam emails and the like is the senders email address, so always check this on any emails you are unsure of.

There are some text message scams doing the rounds too, I received one saying I was owed £500 tax back, came with a link to click that asked for plenty of my info!

I wish I had time to sit down and watch TV, and these days if I do I get bored way too quickly.

I feel like I'm being naughty if I'm not busy grafting
