I'm scared

Just in the last five minutes, on this forum, I have read about people getting monies paid into their account and then scammers, in possession of their account details, name and address asking for it back. I have read about RI 400 taking monies from accounts. Just this morning, I received an email from someone purporting to be from the company I had my car MOT'd with asking me to click on a link and they'd give me a cheque for £75. Even though they had my car reg, my address and knew I'd been for an MOT (how?), they got my name wrong.
So......I'm going to withdraw all of my money from the bank, make a hat from tin foil and move into my shed. Anyone want to join me? :eek:

I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.
