…to all you folk of an age. Be on the lookout for a scam. A scam I almost fell for.
Let me explain: If, like me, you’re of an age and, with the approach of summer, are possibly reviewing your wardrobe, be on the alert for mail purporting to be from someone offering advice regards to the possible purchase of the perfect cardigan.
How the scammers gather information, I know not. Clothing store CCTV? Hacked Inter-Web searches half way up the Amazon of you looking for a nice new cardi? No idea.
Anyhoo, I got such a mail on Friday stating an appointment had been made for me with a cardigan expert. This mail included a contact phone number to use to confirm the appointment.
BEWARE, this is a scam involving the cleaver misuse of a word to fool you into believing you’re going to get advice on the perfect cardigan to suit your personal appearance from a fashion and cardigan expert whereas, in fact, it’s a scam to try and get private information from you regards your health and your heart condition for some nefarious use so please be warned, treat with extreme caution any communications you may receive from someone claiming to be proficient in cardiology as this will almost certainly NOT be from a fashion adviser specialising in the intricacies of cardigan design.

Does anyone ever buy a cardi for themselves?
ReplyDeleteI would like one with a non-stick frontage.(If you want to sound technical and wise stick "age" on the end of a word. Viz. "signage". So much better than just " signs".)
So that toothpaste, egg yolk and other debris does not announce my diet and personal hygiene habits.
Doonhamer,
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more. I've never - nor ever want to - worn a cardi. BUT, if one came along with a concealed, easy release for use bib... And a hood? A car-hoodie?
