Well to be fair to me I was on a fair dose of Codeine at the time, so not at my sharpest. Fortunately, I can manage on over the counter medicines now.

?Well my wallet had be stolen from a taxi a few days earlier. I hadn't activated the credit card yet but it did leave me feeling a bit jumpy. I would say I don¡¯t think any of us can be too careful, Dr¡¯s, ex MI5 have been close to falling for these scams, they are getting more & more sophisticated. I¡¯d really like some of them to try & collect my credit cards & have the police in my apartment. They particularly pick on the vulnerable especially. It¡¯s like stealing from the collection plate!

Been a spate of daft emails and recorded phone messages throughout covid - think it¡¯s because scammers now have lots of time working from home - no wonder they don¡¯t want to go back to work in an office.
We¡¯ve been getting American drawl over the phone saying they are from Amazon rather than unintelligible usual Phillipino chatter.
I abused one chatterer who was trying to tell me he was from Telstra our phone provider with a tall tale and I said not to talk rubbish to me and waste my time and he hung up!
Just ignore them John.

These are getting more & more sophisticated. These people could earn good money in an honest job. The only explanation is pure greed & a complete lack of conscience.
I even received an email saying my new ?400 iPhone order was complete & would be delivered in 24 hours, as I¡¯d recently had my wallet stolen, I was worried. They stood to gain nothing except cruelty. The fraud office at my bank told me it was doing the rounds.
