    I would have said that up to the week that my parents got scammed.

    My father, as I said a businessman and builder/farmer all his life.
    My mother tertiary educated in organic chemistry.

    I hope you're correct about yours.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Alas, that's so true.. Sad, but it does happen.

    I've got a very real looking one today by email from 'Apple' wanting me to verify my Apple id. What a shame, I trashed it.
