340 forum posts 30 photos | Yeah, I have a busy day tomorrow. On the agenda:- 1. Get in touch with the 18 year old Russian girl who is very much interested in me (she likes my photo and thinks I'm sexy). 2. Sort out my bank account. It will be closed if I don't confirm my details. 3. Have a chat with the African millionaire who needs my help getting money into the UK. 4. Sort out an Amazon order that has been cancelled. I'm sure I did not order anything through Amazon, but I must be mistaken. 5. Pass on my details so I can pick up the undelivered UPS parcel awaiting my collection. 6. Claim that £234.42 tax refund. It would be rude not to. I'll do my best. Steve |

![]() 7881 forum posts 397 photos | DHL has been failing to deliver a package to my home every day the past fortnight apparently and I should click on a link to track my parcel. Except I have nothing on order -- and I have been home all day every day and no delivery man has appeared once. Must be bloody good that DHL though, they even tried and failed to deliver my parcel on Sunday. Heartwarming to see such a conscientious outfit trying so hard to help me out. |

Ian Hi, well I've had the tax office give me money back several times, but they've always sent a cheque direct to my address after they have sent me a letter with all the details of it, never had to click a link or anything to claim it and haven't always known it was overpaid. Regards Nick. |

2319 forum posts 13 photos | Now in my sixties I seem to be attracting a lot of 'ladies' who would like to know me better. If only this had happened 45 years ago I might have been tempted, although I am presuming the mails are from some hairy ar**d Russian of dubious gender? Tony

7227 forum posts 21 photos | Don't ignore the oriental lady offering to recover your bank charges! She may not know which bank you use, but she will keep querying until she finds out yours (if you are stupid enough to tell her!) It would be extremely rude to offer her a job which involves sex and travel. Howard |

![]() 6956 forum posts 229 photos | These things really should be blocked by the ISP or phone company but where's the revenue in that? My postie is kept busy with letters from the BBC saying they will visit on a particular day to watch TV with me. I stay in and set the tea table and bake a cake but they never show up. The suggested fines for pestering charities won't cover the BBC I suppose. |
