Scammers everywhere.

Please be cautious and aware during this busy season.
I've noticed I have been receiving anonymous texts and calls, which I've blocked and ignored. My husband has experienced similar issues. He received a call from a call centre abroad and suspicious emails.

Some of us are concerned about the increasing prevalence of tech-related threats and scams in society.

These scammers are experienced, with some using AI and they target everyone. We have to be scam safe all.

P.S I was watching 'The One Show' last night and found out they are doing a Celebrity Scam Interceptors next Monday, if anyone is interested.

There's always scammers around, this is nothing new.

What's new is the sheer volume of scams & scammers. Always worth reminding people to be sceptical.

My phone marks some callers "Suspected Spam". I'm getting four or five of those a day.
