David. Life is getting more and more complicated and worrying.

Possibly the reason for all this phishing for account details and hacking into accounts is that Christmas is coming and children expect - whatever your financial situation.

I put metal theft into same bracket. It is plaques on gravestones, copper in toilets of local sports clubs, lead flashing off roofs on old houses, lead on churches and school buildings, iron safety railings. Anything that can be sold quickly.

And ram raids will increase. A Fiesta (yes, a Fiesta) was backed into a Co-op in Cardiff yesterday to steal fags. Anything you can turn quickly into cash.

Perhaps the first thing to do is report it on 101 to local police. And write to your new Police Commissioner and tell him or her what is happening to so many people at the moment.

I would delete my browsing history and cookies then scan my PC for Malware and other forms of virus's

Edit, Never open Emails from people you don't no and was not expecting,

I never give my phone numbers when filling in forms especially online forms

Remember that companies sell your info to other companies and as you no once you give access you have lost control of that info and how that info is used

Some person or persons have accessed my Yahoo mail account and Hotmail account and changed the passwords so thar I cannot access either.

Yahoo want me to answer a private question.Can't,the answers been changed.


Also in recent days some jerk phoned me to advise me he was on his way with a deliverey from Argos.Then my wife received a phone call to say her Orange account was in arrears.She doesn't have a phone on any network.

I suspect some one is fishing for financial details.

My Paypal account is suddenly reached its limit despite me having recently paid the Bank two hundred pounds.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
