Scams are doing the rounds again Bob. We got one for the business saying we have taken our broadband with a proper company as far as I can tell called Eclipse Internet and we have never heard of them. We have had two letters showing our so called bank details asking us to contact them if they are not correct.

Needless to say they were not and we have no intention of contacting the premium rate phone number given. I sent the correspondence to trading standards locally and they are sending it onto the nearest TS office to the company address given by this company.

So many scams we need to be careful.

It is a good idea to let your local Trading Standards Office know about any scam as they look into it and can forewarn others.

If you get a phone call from a firm calling itself Support Onclick in Bradford, hang up. This firm is actually Pecon Software Ltd. (peconcal@vsnl.net), En-27, Salt lake Sector-V, Kolkata West Bengal,700091 INDIA Tel. +91.03340101601.

They will give you the number 01274900834.

The speaker will give an English name but have a heavy Indian accent. They will ask you to log on to your computer and will tell you that the computer has a problem that they can fix.

Eventually, they will require a fee of £65.00 from your credit card and, guess what, they will take considerably more. This will be for a year's subscription to their site and there will be no way you'll get your money back.

This is a RED ALERT to all computer users.
A company calling themselves ' ANTIVIR SOLUTIONS ' sends out a message to all and any computer user, saying they have the answer to Virus problems on your computer. If you open the message your computer will be corrupted by a Virus. Making it impossible to use ( This has happened to one of our members ).

They are infecting your computer and wanting you to pay them for anti virus software to get rid of it.

If this happens to you then the only solution for you is to take it to a computer workshop for a complete overhaul of your system, which will be costly.

DONT OPEN ANY MESSAGE THAT YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH.
