B&Q scam email
These scam emails offer recipients the chance to ‘participate in a loyalty program’ with B&Q. They claim that in exchange for ‘less than a minute of your time’, you can get a free Dewalt Power Station or 170-piece Stanley tool set.

The emails mimic B&Q branding to appear genuine, but are sent from seemingly random email addresses. The emails themselves also contain spelling errors - another giveaway that they’re sent by fraudsters.

Dodgy survey website
If you click on these emails, you’ll be taken to a recently-created website where you’re asked to complete a short survey. The survey asks 14 questions about your shopping habits. The page includes a countdown clock - a common tactic used by scammers to pile pressure on potential victims.

The website also features fake 'reviews' from previous ‘winners’. These reviews are mocked up to appear as if they’ve been left on Facebook.

Once you’ve completed the survey, you’ll be asked to fill out a form and pay £2 for postage. It’s at this point the scammers will steal your personal information and bank details.

Has anyone come across a McAfee pop up saying "this site is infected"[NOT WP} and urges you to do a scan. This has popped up twice now on sites I have used previously. I dont even have McAfee. I've run my own antivirus and all appears to be ok.

Sounds like a scam.

Phone number to remember: 159

If you need call your bank urgently (eg its just called you, and you've hung up as it may be a scam) and can't remember its number, just call 159 and it'll put you through.

PS if you have had poss scam call, use a different line to call back (or wait an hour) in case they're spoofing a dial tone.

Just had a call from a LOCAL number, I believed it to be from a genuine number, so I picked up. A recorded message said "Bank Security", I hung up. To date I've blocked at least 15 different numbers. I've never answered any of these calls, until today So what does it tell you, if they have started using LOCAL numbers. Be careful out there.

Good info that Lolly

We don't answer ANY numbers, local or not, that we don't recognise.

I had one yesterday, he knew my name and how much I pay O2 for airtime, O2 sat they don't phone people so it could only have come from O2 data sharing

That Al has a lot to answer for, it addresses me by my first name,

Its by Microsoft so I would expect it to, it knows your microsoft details

Another a while ago, VM again wanting a missing payment for something similar I told him I've withheld payments until my failed router is replaced after having no internet for a week, the rude man cut me off without helping me with my problem
