I had a funny one the other day. Only few filter through and I reported and deleted.
Next one I post here :)

I got a clever scam before Christmas, it was just a text purporting to be from Tescos saying that if I wanted to make any changes to my Christmas delivery I should do so before 11.59 today. No link to click on and it said it was from Tescos with the Tescos Logo.

I was a bit surprised as I thought I had a few more days to tweak my order so I went on line to change it quickly and I was right I had a further 5 days, so I looked back at the text and it was a single message not on my Tescos thread.

I blocked the number , but I assume the scammers would have waited until after Christmas and sent further messages with links for payments and I would have trusted the emails because I would have thought it was on a legitimate thread.

Minnie Mad that's quite a worrying scam message supposed to be from Tesco. That would be an easy one to fall for.

Got something to say?

There will be no more problems accessing Netflišš” for you when you have triumphed over these obstacles.'

Have you re...
