Hello every one I have been informed by my WHICH website I subscribe to.

A major concern for our Community.

In times like this never intentional to alarm people those who are anxious and vulnerable.

It seems the fraudsters have decided to use this Covid 19 situation to target our members our community.

Please this the story on the website.

https://www.which.co.uk.

I would just add if you have any concerns please call the Police.

One other important one please be aware might get phishing web links be very careful.

These invite to a link click on and ask for personal details.

Please be aware keep safe and if not sure of anything.  Do not click on.

WHICH have stated a 400% increased rate of fraud so please if you have a good secure back up and virus protection be OK.

You might be aware of some things may look genuine but not.

From Government websites or other organisations.  Asking for and giving you some information need to click on this website this link.

It is deplorable, disgusting this is happening and scary enough.

Please keep safe and secure.

    Hi @thespiceman I'm ok just trying to get the essentials to tide us over.
    Not so easy when I'm physically not able  to go to the shops and have 3 young adults with autism and other complex needs.

    We all have to ride this out and keep ourselves and others safe ☺

    Hello @Firefly123   Sorry to hear this you could apply on line shopping be a good thing to do.

    I must add one or two supermarkets have webpage restrictions and rules.

    I would look on line sign up you just pay a fee free delivery.

    Must be minimum of £40 or some are less.

    Do a mid week saver shop many times as you like .

    Under £4 some supermarkets a month, delivery just drops bags off.

    In your door way will not be able to come in, been told that.

    Need debit card, credit card or PayPal.

    Hope that helps.

    Please take care.
