Dare you enter the Escape Room?

Very plausible scam call this morning from “Tesco Bank” about unusual activity on my account. He knew my full name, address and obviously tel no. Offered to put a stop on my card but made two mistakes - claimed my wife’s card was a different number and quoted the first 4 numbers on my card (which are common to all Tesco cards). Hung up when I asked him to confirm the last two legitimate transactions on my account which I could see on my app. I wonder what he was going to ask for next?

Do you know someone who wants to improve their digital literacy? If so, they can now come and try a TCL (Android) Tablet at ChIT Chat any Tuesday morning (courtesy of a donation of 3 machines by Quickline Communications). And, if they want to practice their new skills, they can take a machine home for an agreed period of time.

Suggest they get started by looking at:

Learn My Way is a website of free online learning to help beginners develop digital skills.

This is an urgent appeal for a missing white boulder - answers to the name of Dave! Dave went missing between the hours of 14.00 and 16.00 today and is much missed by this partner boulder, Derek, It seems likely that Dave was involved in a dispute with a vehicle (which may well be damaged). This is completely out of character for Dave - he has never left home before (although he often moves a few feet). A reward of 10 cooking apples is offered to anyone who can help us bring Dave home. 🙂
