Had one last week informing they have all the evidence of me watching porn on the web and if i dont pay 800bt/c into an account they would send a mail to all my contacts informing them.....who gives a feck, all my contacts know i watch porn. 😅😆 Now if they said they had caught you acting in it they could have at least asked for a decent amount and made it worth their while.

Had one last week informing they have all the evidence of me watching porn on the web and if i dont pay 800bt/c into an account they would send a mail to all my contacts informing them.....who gives a feck, all my contacts know i watch porn. 😅😆 Watching it, the only porn I get is the mog at least I can strip her down and she is a great ride . I have had a few laughs as June calls it the Mistress . I wound up Junes hair dresser telling her I had a mistress and June did not mind as I enjoyed servicing her etc etc . She was going red in the face . On the subject of porn . June wanted to go to Holland I said OK so Jnr wanted to come then bring her pal . I had to keep a watch on the 2 of them on the ship . Horny ship staff and daughter keep telling me to go to bed . When there they refused to have a look in the red light area . I ended up in women's clothes shops . The only laugh I got was watching a Dutch bloke picking his crumpets black silky stuff . He held them to the window rubbed them against his face then put them against her . Better than a porn show . I was chatting to the bloke and he said " you Brits are way out of touch ". I told him come over to Newcastle on a w/end the women will eat him alive . On the subject of SEX . Here is a funny story . As you know June drags me around Durham City for long walks its a while ago. As we got into Durham market area June wanted to go into Tesco ( the old Woolworths ) . June drags me in and my shy mood started . While June had picked the food and gone to the checkout . I had been standing looking about the lady sitting behind her till looked like her world had collapsed . So I said "cheer up smile" She replied " Why " I said its your lucky day " . To which she said " whats so lucky about today " . Quick as a flash my grin came up and I said "YOU ARE TALKING TO THE WORLDS FASTEST SEDUCER " her face still dull . I said Why did'nt you enjoy it . That was it she started to laugh could not sit on her chair or work her till everyone was watching her and she just had fits of laughter everyone watching all the tills stopped as the place was in stitches . June came over to me "time to go "

I am just off the phone after another nice communication with a guy from Microsoft headquarters who wanted to offer help. Beside his strange asian accent he mixed up the United States of America with the United States of Germany (!). I kept him on the phone for some 10minutes until I told him I am an Apple user... Next time I will try to spend at least 15minutes of their valuable time😉

I've been a victim of these criminals about a year ago! I have my own company and I am always very keen when it concerns money! Never the less the performed being my sister in law, and started with: Hi Toine, I have a new phone and number, so can replace the old one, aso aso. Costs me nearly € 2000,00! I still have stomach ache about this matter. I could not believe this could happen to me, but it did! So to all of you: watch out! A friend received ab email from her brother a couple of days ago. The email stated that he was in hospital and undergoing therapy for cancer. It went on to say that he hadn't told anyone because he did not want anyone to know at this time so please keep it quite. It then stated that he desperately needed a sum of money and gave instructions on how to send it.
Naturally our friend was very upset and tried to phone her brother and started to get really worried when her brother did not answer the phone.
Finally her brother saw here missed calls and called her back. It turns out that her brother's email account had been hacked and that it was a complete fraud, The fraudster, having access to previous emails, was able to put together a convincing story which seemed to be real. Fortunately she did not send the requested money but the whole episode has really shaken her.
Needless to say they have both taken action to change passwords etc.
This may be may be an indication of a new type of fraud, so if you get an email like that be aware that it is most probably an attempt at fraud and don't panic. .
As they say: forewarned is forearmed.

Not on computer but similar phone scam...... Few years ago a call from someone asking me to sell some shares I had and invest in his company’s scheme. A busy talker with verbal overload. Told him to send stuff in the post. None arrived. A year later another call. Recognised his voice. Asked him why nothing had been sent. More verbal overload/sales pitch. I put phone on speaker, went to make coffee, left him jabbering away. Got back and heard him asking ifI was still there. Told him about the coffee. He grunted and hung up. He would have got my details as a shareholder easily as it is available anyway. I used to have fun with some of these but now just let them go to voicemail, they usually hang up. I did answer with. “Dyfed Powys Police, how can I help?” Calls arediverted to us as part of a major investigation” Quick hanging up.....

Managed 4 minutes before I told him to go away.

"Call Guardian" stops them in their tracks on the phone and they never leave a message and then you can block the number.
