There are lots of scams at the moment. There's one that is allegedly from Amazon saying that your prime membership is due for renewal but your payment card is going to expire before that so press 1 to update your details. Odd when my card isn't due to expire until 2025.

There is another one allegedly from HMRC telling you that you owe taxes and if you don't pay now, you will be taken to court.

Had that one as well.Plus phone call allegedly from Amazon stating some one was attempting to use are account

We just had a phone call from a very old friend of ours. MR WD has known him since they were about 5 years old, going to the same school and running down the same lanes in Sparkbrook where the back to back houses were too numerous to count.

His wife passed away in July this year. The dreaded cancer claimed another victim.

This posted in wrong place?

And here’s me thinking council tax was dealt with by the local authority not HMRC, who knew?

I must be having a bad week- not only have I been locked out of my Amazon account four times (but not to the point where I couldn’t purchase anything) also there’s a warrant out for my arrest as I’ve been underpaying my income tax.......
