Thankfully I get only a minimal amount of Spam, but surely nobody is taken in by this sort of guff nowadays ?

I didn't for a moment think you'd be taken in!

I'm just surprised there must still be potential victims after all these years of people getting wise to Scams.

I had a call from the windows scam people today, I know it was them because they use some sort of pseudo skype system and the number always begins with either 3 zeros or 5 zeros followed by something approaching a normal number, I just do not pickup any more

Maybe they think Apple users are more gullible; viz the IOS7 'your phone is now waterproof hoax?'
