Did you watch 'Scammers' on ITV1 on Monday at 9pm. You can watch it on
catch-up. They gave out loads of useful helpful hints.

Yansee. My late FIL fell victim to these scams and had sent them a total of £8,000 before we found out what he was doing. We tried to reason with him but in the end, we had to take his cheque book away from him.

We kept it for a year and when we gave it back to him, thinking he had understood that all they wanted was his money, he started up again.

It's a very real problem.

cupid04 afraid she watched it and she doesn`t think she`s in the same boat as the poor old lady who lost all that cash.

for different reasons entirely - like my American friend couldn't keep up with varying bills when flipping from state to state - from to house to house - so any mail she gets - every single thing is redirected to her daughter's address who more or less is her receptionist and handles everything for her.
