Thanks for the info, will check with Snopes, and get in touch with Visa.

Also I may invest in a whistle!!
Thanks :-)

Sounds like it was a good investment!, bet they'll never try your number again. :-)

If you check the spelling and the grammar it is pretty obvious that this is written by somebody who doesn't have English as their first language. definitely a scam I would say.

Why do people do things like that, I'll never understand.


Yes Ann as soon as I noticed the terrible grammar and spelling I realised!

No, I didn't notice it was from France, my son pointed it out to me!

Scam? definitely

grammar? abysmal
