So may be missing in action for a while
A very good morning to all....Friends over tonight for a meal so looking forward to that.
Have you seen on the news this morning the council tax scam where criminals are phoning up and saying you house is in the wrong band and if you pay them a certain amount of money they can get a £5000 plus refund. They are targeting pensioners mostly and land lines. Well my parents came to see me yesterday in a state as this happened to them 3 days ago and they paid this f4cker £169 over the phone. My parents are in their 80's and this incensed me that these scum are targeting the old or those that can be influenced easier.. Luckily my Mum after she put the phone down was concerned and went to the bank and canceled her bank card but the money had gone. Now it's not about the money but my parents were upset because they had been sucked into this.....As with most 85 year olds they are proud and to think that this had happened to them really upset them and they didn't even want to tell me but once they had and I talked through with them they felt better....After all no one died and they did the right thing by cancelling the card......What amazes me is that f4cking scum like this think it's acceptable to pray on the weak and take what isn't theirs whether thats £50 or £50,000 ...... Hope they fecking phone me !!!!!!!!
