I have had two calls recently offering washing machine insurance. Please be aware that this is a scam designed to get your Credit Card and Account Details. It sounds to good to be true, just refuse.

SCAM ALERT watch out people - just had an automated call offering face masks 'in accordance with NHS guidelines' Funny the NHS cant get enough for staff at the moment. but just dial 1 and we'll take your credit card details........

Some good news. The covid19 virus must be hitting somewhere pretty hard. I have not had a single call this week from someone I struggled understand about an accident I did not have or some software I do not have.

Just had my elderly neighbour upset because some scumbag lowlife has told her she owes HMRC 20 grand!! Luckily she didn't give any bank details.

She was concerned because they had a lot of her details and she's not on the internet. The ****** even threatened her with arrest if it wasn't paid.

Be vigilant folks - HMRC never ring you out of the blue

Had a phone call today claiming to be from Amazon saying I was being charged £39.99 for Amazon prime and to press 1 if I wanted to speak to someone. I pressed 1 and a chap came on but when I asked him the name of the person being charged he hung up. The number the call came from was 01684 732813. I have checked all the Amazon accounts at my house and no one is subscribed to Amazon Prime. I never give my name over the phone when I first answer it so he could not answer my question.

I see Bon Marche in Waterlooville is closing. I did think it might have been one of the stores they kept open as it always seemed to do quite good business. Another empty shop and probably another charity shop :(

Anyone else had a letter inviting them to join My Neighbourhood or some such site? I binned it as if it's the same one that took over Streetlife I didn't like the fact that potentially my address could be identified.

Just had an automated message saying it was an emergency call to alert me that a large payment of £600 had been made from my Visa account and to press one to speak to the support team if this wasn't correct..............Yes, of course I'll speak to the support team who will take all my account details and withdraw all my money so I won't have to worry about anyone cleaning out my bank account.....:(

I see the little drinks cabin in Cowplain has closed - anyone know why! It's been there for over 40 years, such a shame to lose another shop.

For those who do not know, it's on the parade of shops at Frogmore Lane / Lovedean lane junction, nearly opposite the Tesco express [ex Green Dragon pub]

Walked past today and the interior is gutted, all stock & shelves gone, just a big empty space with bits & bobs left, plus the part of fascia has been removed.

There isn't any sign or notices in window. Any one know what's going on?
I checked on Companies House, wound up & went bust in Feb 2019.

Shame I liked this shop.

But any one know who or what is moving in?
Given the area, not likely to be charity shop, and nail bar / hair shop next door anyway

Noticed today that there are fitters on the premises. Anyone any idea of who's going in there. Such a shame they couldn't make a go of it as it was a lovely restaurant ;)

Had an email today purporting to be from Virgin saying my DD bill hadn't been paid. Didn't give the amount or say what service it was for but had the Virgin logo and a link to an Https site. I checked with Virgin and it is a scam. If you or anyone you know gets one please forward it to phishing@virginmedia.com and then delete the original
Stay safe on line

Just a note to any of you who use inhalers that the pharmacy in the health centre in Cowplain recycle them. They are high grade plastic and aluminium which can be kept out of landfill
