This morning checking emails I’d received two strange emails as follows:

An email from Amazon asking me to take part in a competition. Very pretty it was too with hearts and brightly coloured.
An email from Adobe telling me to log in or loose everything I’d stored.

I’ve deleted them but just wondered if anyone else had received anything similar?

Actually I had one from dpd saying that they had missed me and I should click on link to arrange redelivery but would have to pay as it was the 3rd attempt. I clicked on the link before I twigged. However now deleted. Didn't think that I would be so easily fooled.

I keep getting texts purporting to be from O2 telling me my payment has not gone through this month. A quick check on my O2 account confirmed that was a scam. Also, lots of calls from Amazon about my Prime account which do not appear on my Amazon account. I have had 3 phone calls from a number which I have identified as coming from Italy, I don't answer them.

I've had at least 10 emails this week telling me I have won a competition of one sort or another! Lucky me!
