On the same subject I hope you won't mind me using your scammer thread as a platform for this, which has me furious too...
It's the latest in over 200 new scams this month attempting to exhort money from the elderly..particularly,... but anyone innocent enough to be scared by this are paying up
There are different variations of the reason for the fines... but this is an example of texts and whatsapps people are being sent to their phones... please share this with everyone you know, and be aware of this scam yourselves
