Has there been a thread about the scams that have latched onto the virus? For example there’s the one where you get a (spoofed) text from the government saying you’ve been spotted outside and are being fined… naturally, with an easy pay option.

phone scammers are the scum of the earth who will adapt their tactics as the winds change .Once came back from work to find my 80+ dad( who I sit with now on lockdown) on the phone talking to the doctor reviewing his prescription ,started to make us a mug of tea and I hear him saying he will have to go to find his wallet to give them his card details!!!!! WHOOAHHT gimmie the phone pa they hung up on hearing me ask who are you .Tried redial and the number was withheld .close one that . Now after a long chat on the subject he is a lot wiser .I could go on about this but it would be blocked because of the number and variety of four letter words I would use . Just keep your ears and eyes open

If anyone knocks on your door and asks to put their finger up your bum to test for corona virus... I can tell you it’s a scam!

I feel so stupid now.

I'd probably have given it the thumbs up as well.

"Uuummm not a positive result, would you mind doing that again please"?
