Beware this scam!

How the hell has this made the Express.

FFS I'd consider my mother in law to be daft to believe this s***, a professional editor should have some research skills.
 
Reading the comments on that page, there's no surprise we're completely in the s***.

These retards get to vote, breed and feel superior because they're proper British and love the Queen and all that.

No Phil, these retards get to vote, breed and feel superior because they're human beings and these are basic human rights.

Feeling superior isn't a basic human right. ;)
 
Since its in the express, has anyone blamed it for Diana's death or rising house prices yet?
 
I was going to ask if this was a scam to make us view the Express website? :p

It's usually referred to as freedom of thought. It was described by the US Supreme Court as "the indispensable condition, of nearly every other form of freedom". That's fairly basic.

It's not on the list ;) - freedom of 'thought' isn't the same thing as 'freedom to believe I'm superior to everyone else and consequently treat them as my inferior', in fact that type of belief often infringes other 'actual' human rights. :police:
 
oh for the good old days when you could put a couple of bob in the phonebook and soak to a real person ,but got to agree with phil ,THEY BREED AND THEY VOTE :tumbleweed::tumbleweed::tumbleweed::tumbleweed:

Freedom of thought is not the same as freedom of action. We were talking about the former, not the latter.

But we're not - you are! ;)
I posted: and feel superior because they're proper British and love the Queen and all that
not even 'think' but 'feel'.

You chose to argue that I was suggesting they shouldn't have 'freedom of thought', it's a bit of a stretch. Frankly Stewart - it's [PLEASE DON'T TRY TO BYPASS THE SWEAR FILTER].

At what point is a feeling in this context not a thought?

Phil, you keep moving the goalposts.

You initially complained that these retards "get to vote, breed and feel superior".
When I disagreed, you said that basic human rights don't include "freedom to believe I'm superior to everyone else and consequently treat them as my inferior".

See what you did there? You started off talking about just the feeling of superiority, then you changed it to include acting on that feeling. You created a straw man to argue against. Holding a belief, and acting on that belief to the possible detriment of others, are completely different things. Nobody, including me, has suggested that one has the right to act on a belief.

Goodness. I wonder what kind of response I'd have had if I'd challenged your views on eugenics instead.

Get a grip Stewart.
 
According to this news report there's a new scam alert involving fake 'Royal Mail type' missed delivery cards, which apparently invite you to call a phone number to arrange collection of delivery which, according to the report in the link below can reportedly cost people £45 if they call it!

Thought I'd better bring this to people's attention as I know people on here tend to use mail order quite a bit, so might be prone to falling for this scam, particularly if they are expecting something through the post. Please pass on the word to friends and relatives too. (y)

That's nothing. Overnight Amazon sent me 15 e-mails telling me that I'd ordered some £7000 of Xbox/Play station gaming gift vouchers. Whatever they might be!
They managed to stop the last 14 but the first for just a fiver - a test - went through.
I've not used my Amazon account for over 2 weeks so how they found me God/Allah knows.
All sorted now but my account has been wiped clean and I've to start all over again!

It's fake. It's simply not possible for a London 020 number to cost you £45 to call.

Thanks, didn't realise it was a London dialling code, I've amended my post in light of this. (y) I thought it must have been a premium rate phone number to do that, but from the report it looks like there is some other way this can cost someone £45? I've no intention of phoning it to find out though! The alert is also reported here: http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/ and I wouldn't imagine someone has had these cards produced just as a practical joke?

There are reports around the internet that the cards are being used by bailiffs to find out if somebody is at an address. I have no idea of how true this is, but some claim the number belongs to a bailiff company.

Simply calling the number won't cost you £45

Can't verify as the number is pixelated, but the explanation I'd read suggested it was a debt collection agency checking occupancy.

020 isn't only London. All direct phone numbers for individual hotels begin with 020. I think 020 numbers are purchasable.

Any non geographical numbers can be purchased for use. If I want a London presence I can buy a London number easily, but they are still only charged at the standard rate.
 
Thanks for the info @Phil V and @ecoleman. I thought I'd better let people know about it all the same, better safe than sorry. (y)
