Scam on phones

Just a warning.

There are scam competitions doing the rounds on mobile phones.

One in particular - freeonlinedesk or similar.

To add, if you receive messages whether it be on the phone or internet, DO NOT select any links.

Always check, if you need to by contacting the company direct. (phone company, ebay, PayPal or utilities)

Or ask fellow members here if you are not sure.

I got one last week, an SMS. Apparently a young lady just "new to the country" who wanted to meet me for a" romantic time".

Not had one of them before

Had a few wins of millions of pounds in lotteries I never entered, however.

I have a prepaid phone

Email warning.

If you receive an email that says it has a link to the new James Blunt album DO NOT OPEN IT.
It is a link to the new James Blunt album.

If your email address gets hacked and sends spam/scam emails to your contacts, change your password asap. People on your contact list will probably contact you to check if you did send the dodgy lookng emails, which makes you aware of what is going on.
