Seems to be an upturn in phishing/other scams kicking about - especially unsolicited emails - even the most rational of us can be spooked by them - 'if it don't look legit - don't click'

Yeah, I thought of myself as too smart to fall for these things but a mate sent me some old photos from our teens and then another email arrived from him but it wasn't. I clicked the link and got a "page could not be displayed" message. Not sure whether something has been downloaded. It's properly spooked me. I've been changing my (two million or thereabouts) passwords. PITA.

And just had another from "him" (shows as his contact name but sender is different).

Even when I make phone calls or send Emails to financial institutions like Banks or Credit Card Companies I am still uneasy about scams...
I almost got ripped off when someone cloaned my Credit Card and tried to sent money via Western Union.... Thankfully the Bank noticed this and contacted me. Even then I had to go into a branch ( remember them? ) to sort it as I was uneasy talking about it on the phone.

I have to say Natwest are very good at this it's a complete pain mind when I make a purchase on line I'm always asked to verify via the banks app and even sending a code to my landline on times to put in before purchase is accepted.

It's a pain and adds a minute or two but I suppose it's worth it
