Latest scam - WFP

[Harry Bloomfield]

I've just received a scam text message, from a +63 Philippines number, suggesting I need to complete a registration document, in order to receive my Winter Fuel Payment. Total nonsense, the payment is completely automatic. No doubt the form requires your bank details, or some such..

I think I have only ever had calls from internet providings.

Only one ever turned really nasty, but it was extremely funny.
