Thieves are About so Take Special Care Everyone !

My friends elderly parents just had someone knock at their door telling him he was from the bank and needed to replace their bank cards and pin numbers.

Foolishly (I know) they agreed and they stole quite a substantial amount of cash from their account.

Be vigilant and don't trust anyone who asks for bank details, pin numbers, account numbers. I know it sounds pretty obvious, but criminals can be very convincing and will pray on your good nature, so please, please please keep passwords, bank details, pin numbers, credit card info to yourselves.

What a horrible thing to happen to your parents, Bread, will the bank replace the money?

Sorry to hear that Bread, there seems to be no limits that these unscrupulous ballsacks will stoop to, especially at a time like this.

Re: Thieves are About so Take Special Care Everyone !

Good advice.

Take particular care and lock up your toilet rolls!

A man has been charged after he allegedly stole hundreds of rolls of toilet paper from supermarkets in Sydney during the coronavirus crisis.

Police will allege in court that the 30-year-old man stole about 400 rolls of toilet paper from the restricted storage areas of supermarkets in Auburn and Granville last weekend.
