@Anny  Where to start?!?! All the time!!!!

Calls - "Your Windows connection is showing problems" - always a giveaway since I don't use Windows...doh!!!

Texts - "We're holding your parcel" - Not expecting one!!!

Email - Too numerous to mention. Usually purporting to be FedEx or DPD holding a parcel for me. The giveaway is that they usually quote the internet name instead of my real name!!!

A warning to people on the Forum........do NOT put any personal information in your posts here - the scammers will know that the number is associated with a Smarty account.
