Have you installed the app?



I wonder if anyone has had success (probably already mentioned :rotfl:) claiming against the single bottles (3 for £5) :think: if anyone has hinted this is the case then it was too subtle for me :rotfl:

Ditto, made some jam. When did you plant your carrots and what variety were they?
Who made the wine, you or MG? x

I made the wine, that's why it tastes so good :rotfl::rotfl:

Carrots were planted around the end of March time, theyre autumn king ones. They needed a good thinning out. First time I've grown these and so far I like what I see x

Worth a read I would say


They are continuing to evolve and use technology and one of the latest trends is 'TEXT SPOOFING'. More of this later.

In Durham we give you the prevention advice to tackle the enablers of fraud , that is your home telephone, the mail through your door, your computer ( including social media) and your text messages.

Home Telephone. If you receive a call from someone who claims to be your bank, your broadband supplier, your phone supplier , energy supplier , HMRC, police then simply HANG UP ON FRAUD, saying 'sorry I do not do business on the phone'.

This is simple advice and WILL help stop you losing thousands of pounds. Fraudsters are pretending to be Banks, Police, HMRC, Engineers, your phone line suppliers. BE suspicious , hang up!!

FRAUDSTERS can keep a phone line open, so if the person asks you to call them back, even if you hear a dial tone then you could still be connected to the fraudster. Always wait 5 mins after a call and follow below advice.

You can check you have control of your phone line by calling a family member or friend, a voice you recognise. If you get through this means you have control of you phone and then can ring the number you have for police (101), your bank ( from bank card or statement), broadband supplier ( number from statement). Never call the number you were given over the phone or via a text message without following these simple steps first.

Clearly we are still being targeted , so the mission I pass to you who read this is to open up conversation about this with friends, family and colleagues. Tell about what fraudsters are doing. I know of people who have lost in excess of £10,000 in our County. Sometimes this is done by the fraudster being friendly and manipulating the victim ( they may already know your name and account number from other sources).

I know of one trick where fraudsters pretending to be your phone/broadband company tell you they will give compensation and then claim to make an overpayment to your bank account , in reality they are stealing the victims money from their savings account and making it look like an overpayment.

THEY DO THIS AS THEY ASK YOU ( THE PERSON TAKING THE PHONE CALL) to press some keys on your keyboard so they can fix your internet or a virus on your computer. NEVER PRESS THE WINDOWS KEY and 'R', this grants a person you do not know full access to your computer, they can see what you see, they can access all your files and they can infect your computer with malware and viruses, including malware that can steal your passwords.

You shouldn't be getting this far into a conversation if you simply 'HANG UP ON FRAUD' - ' I do not do business on the phone'.

Text spoofing
some people receive text message from there banks, we can keep these text threads open and quite often we then trust that this is from who it says e.g your bank.

Fraudsters can and ARE high-jacking these threads and sending a text that looks like it is from the bank.
They may claim there is a fraud alert on your account and then ask you to call a number or click a link and log into internet banking.

The link is a cloned site and you could then give away your personal details and passwords for banking.

The phone number given has also directly connected to fraudsters , who sound like the bank, and talk you through the security questions and obtain your banking details.

Just as worrying , if not more is that I am aware of fraudsters using a number using this method that diverts the call to the real banking Fraud Dept. The fraudsters listen in via technology and record what is being said and keyed in during that call. This exposes the customer and the banks to a massive risk of loss.

BE AWARE- never call a number given to you in a text from a business, never click a link from a similar text. Source your own phone number from a trusted method or call in at the bank- You may just have stopped yourself losing money.

Talk to people and pass this message on and you will help make Durham safer. Durham Tackling Fraud together.

If you feel you may have been targeted by fraudsters then report to Action Fraud or call 101 for advice from your local police.

Have a great weekend

Instead of phoning your bank back straight away, first dial a friend/family member... if they sound like a bank then you know you just avoided a fraudster! :eek: :money:
