Lord Bamford owes £500,000,000 to HMRC he has retired from the House of Lords and fled. He expects his debt just like Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 debt to be written off. We must recover every penny from these thieves, and toss them in jail.

When I talk about scams, I oft get replies like "the TV licence is a scam too" or "not putting up income tax thresholds is a scam" & more. I get this is venting, but it risks inuring people to the danger of actual scams. Scams and fraud make up 40% of UK crime Its under-policed, under-resourced, under-reported and under-regulated. We need that to change. Scams don't just destroy peoples finances, they have huge impacts on mental health and self-esteem. Scams are primarily from dangerous organised criminal gangs, extra-territorially using sophisticated psychological techniques to lie, manipulate people, and steal with little repercussion. Dismissing that by equating it to legal policy decisions even those you strongly disagree with, draws attention away from the real need in our society to crack down on these criminals.

His heart dropped, and his first instinct was to call me and tell me what happened and ask for help. It was obviously fake, and he didn't do anything wrong, but my heart was filled that his first reaction was to call me and to tell me something happened and for me to help. Communicate to your kids, I have emphasized multiple times with my kids that no matter what situation you are in, especially on cyber - let me know and the bad folks don't want a pissed off HackingDave Dad on them and I'm always there for them. Just got this text as typing:

Latest fraud - all seems very real except interruption is misspelt and of course the large red button (always a bad sign) leads to a thief’s website. Delete unclicked if you get it. Attached is just an image.
