A referee's whistle! That will do the trick. Blow it as hard as you can into the scammers earhole. (They don't like that). Whether the scammers are calling you or contacting you online, BELIEVE NOTHING. TRUST NOBODY. I don't claim its 100% foolproof but it will make it so much more...

It's good to know that the majority of scammers are still so bloody stupid. That email address is a joke, You could say that anybody who falls for that probably deserves it. Is TV licencing going to use a hotmail address? Unlikely! All but the most sophisticated scammers will give you a...
