BEWARE !! Phishing scam !!

BEWARE !!

I have just received a potential phishing e mail scam using the HMCTS logo for an alleged traffic penalty. The e mail asks for an immediate payment of £12.24, which is a ridiculous amount to ask for anyway. If it was the likes of £30, 40, 50 or 60 it might have been more plausible

Anyway my suspicions were again aroused when it confirmed a time of 16:24 last Saturday when I know I was at home along with all vehicles. I did a bit of digging on the internet and it looks like a scam doing the rounds. If you get a similar e mail I suggest you put it in your spam or delete box

The wife got one of these scam emails and she doesn’t drive!
It look like the email originated in Brazil

I got one today for the 5th October at 16.40 and i have not been able to drive for 7 weeks due to having broken my leg so yes it's a scam.

Would you like me to come down and take your Evora for a spin Alan. Dust off the cobwebs etc......

That's good of you but you will have to wait your turn and will Mrs krankie let you leave Scotland.

I have full permission to leave Sturgeonshire from our First Dictator, Nicoliar Sturgeonof.

We have the 4th lowest rate of CV-19 in the country behind Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles and yet our restrictions are higher than Liverpool which is in the highest category in Englandshire. It does't make sense and, as an ex analytical scientist, not much of it does

I will bring a new mask with me, not that that prevents CV-19, so where do you leave the keys Alan ? And, after the drive, where's the nearest decent pub as they have been prohibited here

Mark,

I take issue with your numbers - I believe that you'll find that Pembrokeshire is 4th lowest (I agree that Orkneys and Shetlands are top, then Scilly Isles, then Pembrokeshire).......... but..... maybe it is just that Chairman Drakeford and his comrades felt left out so, being wannabe politicians, decided to just make up some numbers.

Either way, we have no lockdown restrictions here (other than what we've had for a long time)... so feel free to ask Alan for his credit card to pay for the fuel, and bring it over here for a spin

[alan e]

It's very good of you both to offer to take my car out to give it a drive for me but to save you all the trouble how about if i bring it to our next big meeting and you are both welcome to take it for a drive.

Dave - when I referred to "the country" I was of course referring to the Kingdom of Krankieshire. As far as I know, NicoLiar hasn't seized power of the UK. Yet

[dapinky]

I'm prety sure that Comrade Drakeford would welcome her in a Celtic Union Nationalistic Treaty .......

[Rambo]

They could be known as the "Bunchof" party

£12.24 wi soon be a lot of money when Mc Reich Fuhrer Sturgeonhoff has bankrupted the country .

You're not the only one. I broke my leg in August too.
I have been able to drive again since the weather turned from sunny to wet, so my Elan has not moved.

Not only did i brake my leg but i also broke my ankle to, 2020 not been a good year for me.

[dapinky]

Whats with all this rubbish about not being able to drive with a broken leg????

(Okay, I'll grant you it's not a brilliant idea, and the insurance company/hospital/missus/old bill may not be impressed - but it can be done.)

[Rambo]

Yeah. I can still do it with 2 replacement hips. Bunch of southerner softies
