A few days ago several Emails popped up - a free iPhone12! Just click the boxes and you might just win one. Why not? I thought stupidly. First click; WRONG! But good news; you get another free chance. Click another box. And surprise - I won. Oh yeah, I thought. Fill in address details and it will be with you within ten days. Why not? I filled it in. Oops; then - we simply need a £1 contribution for post and packaging. That's when I should have known SCAM. A year ago I would have binned. But now I'm 76 I'm old, doddery, stupid. If they had asked for £5 or £10 I might have thought "fair enough; that's probably the cost". But £1? SCAM. So stupidly I gave my card number. Cleared it. OK'd it. "Great; it's on its way. Oops - we're out of stock. Just click here and sister site will fulfil". More Oops. But I clicked. "Please send £1.78 as a contribution..."

I binned it. Oh well, £1 wasted. Never mind; lesson learned.

Then, next day, another £39.00 to MentalGenres (yes, I should have spotted the name). Based in Cyprus! So I told my bank; they cancelled the card; refunded the £39; notified police.

Pain in the arse, new card, had to notify my regulars etc etc.

But a clever scam, if they had just grabbed the £1 and then demanded little bits more until I (and a million others) got fed up and cancelled. By trying to steal £39 they alerted me. I reckon they are making millions in 1£'s from stupid gullibles like me, prepared to lose £1 and then give up so MentalScams can say "we did nothing illegal".

So watch out!

V widespread this one I recieved the same in text messages...

Doh! (again). Nicely done

And that's why I reckon it's very clever wyot; they must have made millions from £1 donations. Major Tom seems tiny beside them. Tiny Tom. Where the fuck is Charles Dickens when you need him?

Jk is or was known to dress up in drag like the director Ed Wood..

These scams are run by the likes of DONALD TRUMP who will keep his fraud claims going to the last minute so the MAROONS (it's what Mae West called her hick fans) keep sending him $USMILLIONS.

## Odd JK thinks of himself as being very similar to Trump. I wonder in what ways?
Does JK wear a diaper? Is JK's hair just fairy floss ? (that ex-lawyer Michael Cohen says he encountered Trump after he came out of the shower and his head was completely bald and that hair hung down to his shoulders.
Must take hours to get it the way it appears.

Me and Trump; the main link is our mutual knowledge of how to handle media and communication. Likewise a lack of moral responsibility. I think, over the years, I've improved that in myself (partly thanks to prison, a great eye opener).

Ha! Well maybe Trump will have the same eye opening experience shortly.
