I received an email yesterday from a member of stroke club asking if we were ok and where we were.
I replied and the next email asked for a favour.
The favour was £300 iTunes vouchers!
Funnily enough I refused and forwarded the email to the government anti fraud address.
I also had to find a way of contacting the stroke club member and warning them that their email has been hacked.

Thanks for doing that. Our e mail address book was hacked in January and everyone was contacted . Unfortunately two friends each sent $400 to the scammer. These were not even close friends and would not have asked to give me even $4. It was horrible.
There are just so many scams about the Govt can't keep up. I had a message from HSBC saying they couls ee someone had taken a payment twice and would I click on the link to get a refund. THIS ONE AS EASY AS I DONT HAVE A HSBC ACCOUNT!!!!
I am thankful that you recognised it as a scam, my heart goes out to all those fooled.
