I have said that if i ever get a phone call like that Im just going to say that I will go straight to my bank and deal with the situation face to face. It’s scary how they are nowadays.

That's awful! Well done for being so switched on and reading the text thoroughly. So many people get swindled because we see something legit and instantly lower our guard without questioning the process further.
If anyone fancies seeing what these scammers get up to and want to see them get payback, there's creators on youtube who spend their time exposing and messing with the scammers. Very entertaining and a sense of justice being served. Off the top of my head Pleasant Green is a good one to follow

Thats interesting. I will have a look at that.
In the call he actually had the nerve to tell me it wasn't my fault and scammers were getting more sophisticated in their approach. I bet he was laughing to himself then thinking he had me.

Hope everyone is doing ok. It was DD's birthday at the weekend. She is now 13 and taller than me!
I made her some special things and then taught her how to make some things for herself. Will post some pics below. They are all silver clay turned into silver when we fired them.
I am really pleased how the ones I made turned out and then DD made an incredible angel.
