Always be suspicious of calls, texts and emails like this. I know I've been receiving them and I report them as spam to my mobile provider straight away. I didn't even know such a thing as a 'sim farm' existed when they showed footage of the raid, I'm sure Greg will have heard of them.
Keep aware, keep safe

SCAMS SCAMS and more SCAMS

Please be aware, especially at this time of year, there are more scams than ever. The latest I've come across are as follows;

Car Park Email; notifying you of a parking fine that you must pay - DO NOT follow the link as it will download a virus!!

HMRC refund; A very believable email scam - again don't click on the link

Telephone calls from BT, TalkTalk and PlusNet. Saying you have broadband issues - they will take control of your PC or you card details.

With all the above, and others that are out there - Please apply a bit of COMMON SENSE !!! ask yourself, would my service provider call me without confirming account details first?
Simply ask them to confirm who THEY are first.. if they can't give you your account number etc then its a SCAM

Be safe - just say NO

Just took a call from Microsoft, those wonderful chaps in India are starting early telling people their computers have issues. I politely told him I'm an IT Person .. he then put the phone down!
Please people, if you a call from ANY company saying they are calling 'on behalf of' ... just put the phone down.
Don't get caught by scammers, no matter how realistic they sound
Here ended the lesson

A journalist noting the new iPhone app is going to eat your phone's memory..

Live Photos turn your photos into mini videos—and will reportedly take up twice as much space as a regular photo.If you have a 16 GB iPhone, odds are you do a fair amount of digital housekeeping every month. I know I do: My photos, videos, iMessages, and sometimes apps themselves wind up getting par…

Oh dear... Best update your kernel all you mac users

The latest version of OS X contains a serious flaw that hackers can use to attack your computer without ever needing your password. The issue is around a hidden document -- Sudoers -- which is effectively a list of permissions as to which pieces of software are allowed to mess around with your compu…

So...windows 10.. anyone upgraded yet? Interested in your feedback..
I like the new internet explorer (Edge), and the layout is ok, not sure about the menu though, doesn't really work for me tbh.
Speed, my laptop is slow to boot up, but after that it's all good.
My overall score 8/10 so far..
