Just a thought!

Now we are all in 'lock down' and, perhaps, relying more on our techy stuff to keep in touch - do we need to be extra careful about protecting ourselves on line?

After all - the scammers/hackers/other scum will have time on their hands!

There might be a few more e-mails or phone calls offering ways to make us immune or protect us from the virus but just handle them with the usual scepticism or precautions I think.

Strangely, for the last week or so I've not had one call from HMRC, BT or Amazon Prime telling me I've got a court case pending..... Not that I'm complaining mind....

Yep! There's scams and phishing going around. One particularly nasty one asking people who's children get free school meals for bank details for vouchers.
