I get an email couple time a month from HMRC saying I am owed £245.00(varies) in a tax rebate and if I send my bank details they will deposit it in my account. So I only press one button on my keyboard which is DELETE............

Our daughter got the same text. Non driver, disabled and never owned a car. Pretty conclusive I would say.

Not that bizzare at all really, there are all sorts of software virusware etc than can see what you are looking at. Scammers then send phishing mails to ip addresses with info related to your history. It only needs one person to fall victim and their money is made.o

Folk don't clean their PC's and allow all kinds of silly apps on their mobiles, just check permissions on some of your apps..I use https://www.malwarebytes.com/ and https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/download Both free versions and it will speed up your device at the same time. As for facebook enough said
