Just had a text from GOVUK (447521235004) to say I am owed £400 under the Energy Bill Support Scheme.

No Sylvia - he didn't reply so perhaps they have concluded covid did get him after all! Just saw another scam reported in the paper - asking for bank details so that all this money we are being given towards our energy bills can be paid in - needless to say that's not how it will work. Sadly I presume some people will all for it and be even worse off.

My husband received an email recently from USA to say that he had appointed a young lady as his executor and given her power of attorney. However they thought he may have died of covid so would he please inform them by return if he was alive or dead!!

I have just had one telling me that there is an arrest warrant out for me because I owe taxes to Her Majesty’s Inland Revenue.
Poor scammers are going to have to change all their automated messages to His majesty’s

Seemingly I have been arrested in China, and unless he sends money I will go to jail

He did later come to check that I was where I was supposed to be, just in case .........
