    Based on the escalating number of obviously bogus emails and text messages that I am receiving, I am of the opinion that scamming activity is on the increase in Fun City. I have also had a "pig butchering" contact. I enjoyed playing around with the later for a while, just to have them waste their time before cutting them off at the knees. The "pig butchering" initial approach came over Line.

    Anyway I was saddened to learn that a lady friend got taken in by a scam recently. She is usually a smart woman. The sophistication and masking of these scams seems to be getting more sophisticated. I had an email show up supposedly from DHL (had the logos etc.) saying that my package was being held because they needed my address and phone number. Glad I did not have an outstanding DHL request at that time.

     

    This scam has been doing the rounds in the UK for quite some time now.

    We have a scam thread somewhere here which I believe it has been highlighted before.
