I had an email, purportedly from Facebook, saying, 'Say hello to your new Facebook friend Karen Ellis'.   We have a member called Karen Ellis and I have been in touch with the her in the past so I clicked on the link.   It wiped out my Facebook page and replaced it with another page.   It took me several hours to sort it out.   If you get a message from Facebook in a similar vein, be very careful.

I've copied this from someone else.   Please be aware of fraudsters:   Somebody called me with this phone number 07060714545 telling me he was doing some registration online and he mistakenly put my number on what he was registering, that my number is similar to his number and that the password of what he was registering was sent to my phone which I actually saw as 6310. He was now appealing to me to give him the reset code that was sent to my phone so that he could finish his registration. I told him to call me with the number he claimed was similar to mine so that I could verify his claim, he told me he didn't have credit in that line. I got online to find out more, only to discover he was actually trying to reset my bank online/yahoomail password and that he is a fraudster, an account hacker and also a 419er. If I had given him the code which was sent to my phone, he would have used it to reset my bank online/mobile app account. Please let us be careful and vigilant. Fraudsters are devising new ways every day.   Copied.   This is a new way of defrauding people... Share to prevent others from being defrauded.

The latest scam to surface.   All looks very nice until they want your bank details so that you can pay the fee, as they put it, "An issue fee (22,50 £) for preparation and delivery of the voucher by post to an indicated address shall be charged. The only and complete cost of the stay with a voucher is the catering fee paid upon arrival."

Has anyone had any problem with bamboo? I’ve recently tried a bamboo toothbrush and developed a really sore mouth ulcer that took ages to heal and was so sore. Not sure if it’s allergy related but I stopped using it and took a good few days to heal. Dubious to start trying again so thought I’d put it out there! Anyone?

I’ve also reacted to Passion Fruit, started with J20. Had two before I made the link then some time later reacted worse with a cake with a passion fruit purée top which I totally didn’t register (bad on my part!) so actively avoid and more cautious with cakes now! Wouldn’t care, love a nice cocktail with passion fruit.
