Hugs for them that need em

Morning Belle

what sun

Morning Belle and Fly

Is the medication working for you ?... I hope so.

Brilliant full on sunshine here.
I might take myself off into town.

Couldn't work out how yesterday's 'Police' call was going.
It didn't seem right, but how was the scam going to evolve
Perhaps he was going to reveal that, when he called for the 2nd time.?

Morning Fly& Gwyn

I do feel a bit better Gwyn, not quite there yet but definitely moving in the right direction

Not sure how the bail system works Gwyn but perhaps they would need your bank account details as surety for bail for "your supposed grandson' or they would ask you to transfer money to a bank account. I'm sure somewhere down the line they would have asked for bank account details or got your bank details

Good to hear you are on the mend

Who knows ?
I do have a grandson... but.. He is not 19, does not fit the description or name given.

They chose the wrong person if they think they were going to get information from me

Found the following, your police officer most probably wanted you to pay a fine to release your "grandson"

People from around the country have been hit by a spate of scammers saying they are police officers.

These scams involve criminals calling unsuspecting victims and telling a series of elaborate lies, such as claiming to be investigating a fraud case or that a relative is in custody, to convince them to part with their money or personal belongings.

Police will never ask you to transfer money to another account, hand over cash or bank cards to a courier, or a pay a fine or fee over the phone. If someone asks you to do this, it's a scam

Morning everyone

Gwyn…they hope to find someone more vulnerable to do their bidding…you win some you lose some, makes no difference to them


Warm windy and a bit of sunshine here

I tuned in to Netflix last night as I could not sleep, watched My Sailor My Love a film set in beautiful Achill Island on the west coast of Ireland….the scenery was stunning and the film wasn’t bad either

Thanks for that Belle... I guessed as much.

By chance, my grandson is not in the UK at the moment, so certainly not in Hammersmith Police Station

Morning Ann missed you there!

I am often awake in the night, but usually watch something which I've recorded
..... sometimes have to re-watch, as it usually gets me off to sleep again

Funnily enough Gwyn, Hammersmith Police Station was mentioned on quite a few of the sites.

Morning Ann

Morning Belle, Fly, Gwyn, and Ann

Funny old morning here, like Belle says, a bit hokey cokey.

Glad you did not get 'caught' in anything dodgy Gwyn, we all have to be super aware these days.

Pleased you are feeling a bit better Belle, no doubt the puffers are working.

You sound like me Ann, I have trouble sleeping, and then regular as clockwork, I am awake at 5.30.

Afternoon everyone

Overcast and windy

Gwyn you should watch this programme on BBC1 about scammers. You will have to watch it on catch up.
