You know the drill - It`s an obvious ploy to sucker in the gullable.




I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

I hate answering the phone at work - It disturbs my sleep.

There`s been several lately linked to Abbey. Our asst manager got one the other day and I actually did one of those `Leap-and-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO`s to stop him clicking on the supplied link

Curse this infernal alcohol...


Writer`s Release
My Collection

Yep, I`ve had about half a dozen of these. Four in one go and another one today. I`ve also had two purporting to be from `Natwest`. Luckily I don`t have anything to do with either of these organisations so I smelled a rat straight away.

Have never received a e-mail from any of my banks, though get a few from the CC ones fairly regularly.

All banking is accessed via bookmarks, never ever click on a link inside a e-mail.

Funnily enough 1 hour after the original post, THO got a trojen on the PC. :/

I may have made an error with my earlier post as today I recieved 2 emails within 1 second of each other telling me that unauthorised access had been attempted on my `Nationwide` account, which I don`t have. Hotmail has a `report phishing scam` button now for selected emails which I have been using. The offending ones then disappear to somewhere I assume that collects them and notifies the correct authorities?
I wonder if it has got owt to do with the information on the missing CD`s, which have been unaccounted for for 3 weeks!?

As mentioned these have been turning up for weeks and they have now started the Nat west ones.
Don`t even regard these as anything more than the usual crap to be deleted.
Up to around 500 a day now on my old email address which hopefully I can soon just ignore.

Snaps

Somedays its just not worth the bother of sending out the mail-shot when HMRC does the work for them.

25 Million details lost.
