Thank you I have had this email several times now and have deleted it as it looked suspicious. You have put my mind at rest and I will continue to delete it.

It's so depressing that we have to be constantly vigilant for scams. How do these people live with themselves?

I've had a total avalanche of messages in recent weeks, under an assortment of names/labels, and the one thing they all have in common is the phrase "can't see the message? Just click on this link......."

Very corny!

Ask Rose. Has anyone tried this , its a repeated ad telling you that you might be due money from way back if you received family allowance. I'm now being tempted but they ask all your ID details is it a scam ? Surely DWP would automatically send us all a rebate or form or something ?
