Received a text today, apparantly I have a small fortune in Airpoints! But alas no I don't. The scammers sent it from an Indian phone number and after 12am on the 5th March so even if I really had the points, they's expired. An easy spot but as always be careful!

Airpoints Dollars

A few customers have told me about a new “Spark” scam doing the rounds at the moment

The caller, who claims to be from Spark, tells you that your internet usage has gone crazy and it appears your personal/financial details are being sold on the dark web in an attempt to gain access from your computer

One person said they would call their computer man to investigate and was warned it was probably them that compromised the computer and selling the details

Never let anyone try to bully you into giving personal details or allowing access to your computer
As always, if in doubt hang up, look up the phone number for Spark (or whichever company they claim to be from) online and call them yourself. If its genuine, the details will be in their system

Skype being retired 5th May 2025

On 5th May Microsoft are retiring Skype. Whilst not as popular as it used to be, Skype still has 30-40 million users per day. In it’s place, Microsoft are pushing their Teams service and have made it simple to move all your Skype data to Teams, I just signed in with my Skype details and everything moved across. Very simple for many of us but it’s the older folks who might struggle with the transition and learning a new system

If any of your friends or family might be affected by this, then now is the time to check in on them and make sure they have a working alternative before 5th May or they might find themselves cut off and not know what to do

If they already have WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger etc then these could be a better option than Teams, just make sure they have their Skype contacts in the alternative system. If they only use Skype, then help them sign into Teams and make sure they know how to use it

If this will affect you and you don’t know what to do and have nobody to ask, I can help you

Xtra Mail Scam Alert!

Someone is having a blitz on Xtra email customers at the moment, I have seen 3 different versions, all sent from different Xtra addresses (probably some poor sole who has had their account hacked) and with slightly different wording but all look like the one here. Just delete it and if you can face the phonecall, let Spark know

Hi everyone
On October 14th 2025 Microsoft will stop all support for Windows 10. After this date, your computer will still work but without security updates will become more vulnerable to hackers, scams etc and programmes/apps will gradually become obsolete and stop working. The longer you leave it after 25th October with bigger your risk
If you have an older computer, it may not be Windows 11 compatible. If you go to settings>windows update it should tell you if you machine is compatible. If it is, then you should upgrade before October 2025. If it is not compatible you really need to replace your computer before then
Here is a good article about it https://www.aztechit.co.uk/blog/windows-10-end-of-life
Thanks for reading
