BT cold callers at the door - assumed it was a criminal gang
My cul-de-sac in Edinburgh today had 2 young males purporting to be from BT round our doors.

Royal Mail seem to have increased number of Fee to Pay cards - just their bit of Christmas Cheer?
We haven't had a 'fee to pay' card (where Royal Mail claim the sender failed to pay the correct postage) from Royal Mail for years but over the last couple of weeks have had four ! The 'handling fee' (excess charge) is massive in proportion to the postage charge - though they do not actually state how much postage was paid…

New Microsoft Cashback, overriding Quidco / TopCashback
Firstly, this is a bit of a warning - I just made a purchase in Edge, via TopCashback as I have done many times before.

Ordered an item on Wednesday, part paid with gift card and part on my Chase debit card via Curve. The funds have been pending since then and I have a screenshot proving this.
