I'd NEVER fall for a text SCAM........
That's the last time I'll EVER be able to say that, because a few days ago I DID!!! I'm wary a lot, there's a list in my head of all the things I NEVER do. No idea what lapse in my brain process led me to fall for this scam, I've even loosely heard of it, there's no version of stupid I haven't called myself now. 3 weeks…

Domino's and Apple pay
A heads up for online pizza orders. I Just ordered a Domino's pizza online to collect price £12. On the checkout page I clicked on Apple pay and the price changed to £14.99. As far as I can see there is no warning that the price will increase by 25% if you use Apple pay. I went back and changed the payment type to debit…

Litter Scam ?
Not sure where else to ask this, so hope I have chosen the correct Forum. Last month I was moving out of my flat in Tottenham, with help from Dad and a friend. Some folks where hanging around watching, and at one point something destined for the van went missing ? Anyway, couple of days later, Mum receives prosecution…

Thief in Royal Mail. Reporting process seems unhelpful and maybe even obstructive.
An empty envelope arrived (correctly addressed and hand written) and, on close inspection, it had been slit all the way down one side. The envelope was completely empty. The envelope had contained a £20 gift voucher which was missing. I tried to email Royal Mail Customer Services and received this reply: "This email…

An Amazon vent
We have a 5 year old TV; the picture is fine but the sound (speakers) have failed to the point we have to turn it on max to hear anything and it often distorts. Rather than buy a new TV we saw an Amazon Fire soundbar with money off. I ordered it on 8th July because the ad said "Prime next day delivery". Order update (10th…

Walked away on instinct - was I right to?
I'm in the market to buy a luxury watch, a Vacheron Constantin Overseas and the specific model I want is available on chrono24 with a POA. The advert itself has a few photos of the watch, pouch and warranty card at a couple of angles, but did not have any of the box and papers, something that can drastically affect the…

Been a customer of Nationwide for years, current accounts + savings, mortgage etc. In August 2024 took their home contents and building insurance for just on £400. This was comparable to other quotes we had at that time. Just had the renewal notice for 2025. It's now increased by £329. No claims made, no changes to the…

Homeprotect Contents Insurance not fit for purpose
In over 40 years of having home contents policies with cover for personal belongings away from home, I have never known it not to include loss, only damage and theft, so to discover this is hidden in the small print with Homeprotect, is nothing less than infuriating. I took out this policy via comparethemarket where I…

SAR for med records but nothing yet
Hello, I was unsure of where to post this, but since it's about my attempt to obtain medical records in relation to benefits, I thought I'd try here. My apologies if I shouldn't have posted this here. On 24 February of this year I sent an email to an NHS Trust under whose care I have previously been in order to make a…

Lookalike scammers
Why does the government allow lookalike scammers? I recently wanted to do a land registry search so I searched google for The Land Registry and sure enough up popped Land Registry UK. I typed in the property address I wanted the details of and the site said the Land certificate and ground plan were available at a cost of…

Best Western phishing email
Hi i hope this is the right place for my query. I’ve just received an email from reception@woodlandsdundee.co.uk which is a Best Western hotel.

Before you order, PLEASE read my review. I just want to share my experience with Dunster House and hope it’ll help people choose their cabins with as much information as possible.

Police not doing a thing even when presented on a plate
Twice in recent weeks I've used the local police online report form & submitted dashcam footage. One was a guy who was right up my back end for ages. When I checked his reg he had no tax & no MOT (& they'd been out for some time, not just days or weeks). Reported this - no action will be taken, we don't deal with tax or…

Boots Online - Change 2FA Phone Number
We’ve been struggling a bit with the Boots website. For a variety of reasons when Boots introduced two factor authentication my wife had to use a friend’s phone number for the 2FA message and ever since said friend gets the passcode despite my wife’s Boots account now having the correct (ie my wife’s) phone number. Has…
