Martin Harris - Moderator Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 It’s not beyond the realms of possibility - a lowly paid operative at the dispatching company or couriers could well be supplementing their income by forwarding customer data to a scamming organisation. You can only forward the email to [email protected] and hope that enough people do the same in order to establish a pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I get those e-mails on a fairly regular basis, sometimes they even coincide with when I'm expecting a parcel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would not want to make it too obvious they have an inside line and the way to do that is scatter a lot of random ones with the targetted ones? I haven't had any for some time then when I do order, guess what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I've been using W10 since the free update from W8 and it's fine. The only downside is the frequency of unnecessary updates (I'm only interested in security - the features are fine as they are) Ever since I was working with development systems running Flex or OS9 for Motorola 68XXX processors I've been a bit anal as to where my data are stored. So I partition my HD so that I have one solely for my data which I access via File Explorer and keep in reasonable order with a file structure that goes quite deep (ie my 'Planes' file has lots of sub folders for Frsky, models, Photos etc) to make finding stuff I want easy. I also use Classic Shell to avoid the nonsense that W10 makes of the Start menu. I like words rather than pretty pictures. I'm still using a copy of MS Office 97 Pro, which has all the features I need. I use Firefox and Thunderbird as my browser and email (as well as a few web-based emails to keep things separate). I use Macrium Reflect (free) to back up the OS/Program data to an external HD and Synchredible (also free) to back up/update my data. Adobe Acrobat runs OK and prints any drawings I need. Quite honestly, it just works. I had a play with Linux Mint just for fun but W10 is OK so far. Don't know anything about W11 but I suspect W10 will see me out - I don't think upgrades in 10 years time will affect me ? Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
