The Comantra Scam: You mean You Phone at Weekends … ?

Oh …

Dear …

LORD

You know, I’ think I’ve got to give whoever it is in Bangladesh that’s been running what I’ve come to call the Comantra Scam — in other words, a phone scam where the scammers attempts to con you into giving them remote access to your PC, and then sell you dodgy software to ‘get rid of any problems’ — credit for persistence!

Because … ?

Well, because I’ve just had another phone call from these guys: only this time, calling themselves the ‘Windows Defence Department’.

Deary, deary me …

And I’ll be honest … ?

I’m thinking their working their way through the phone book.

Because it ALSO turns out my mother had a call, this morning, as well … !

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
