    Default Email scams

    Anyone else had a increasing amount of dodgy emails?

    In the last month or so I keep getting scam emails titled as amazon and netflix, asking to go on to a other site if it wasn't me that made a order prices ranging from around 20 quid to 50

    Clearly I haven't replied or clicked links, bit thourght I would make some more aware of the scam going about!

    Merry Christmas by the way

    These ones are subtle compared to the old skool Nigeria Princes, to be honest I almost clicked the link before googling the link/email I was pissed thinking the other half was spending my money again

    One of lads at work recently got an email informing him that his Nigerian brother had died and there was £80,000 inheritance to be claimed...all he had to do was send £1000 to cover the fees

    I can't write his reply on here
