Scammer World

[smokingboot]

HMRC called. Apparently there's a fraud investigation that I am somehow involved with. The warrant for my arrest is probably on its way because I didn't press the 1 key on my phone and give random strangers my bank details.

If I am never heard of again, accept that I am rich and happy in the company of Nigerian princes, unknown next-of-kin art investors, deposed world leaders and US soldiers who found gold in Iraq. Once I am bored with my life of luxury, I may join Amway or Younique just so I can call everyone 'hun' and bang on about a white mercedes I never wanted all my life. Then, when I realise that my life isn't deep and conspiratorial enough, I'll join the Qanon ranks because they are cheaper than Scientology.

I know it's always been crazy... But I don't recall it ever being this crazy.

This is a known scam.

I don't know how it works, but DO NOT engage with it!

Thanks, I didn't... But here's the thing. I was so shaken up that even though I knew it was a scam, I went upstairs to check with R, who said the same as you did.

I can imagine this working with a vulnerable person. It's very nasty.
