Anti-Theft Website

If you live in the UK and have been a victim of theft, list your stolen items at It's Been NICKED. All items listed must have been reported stolen to the Police as, for your safety, the only contact details allowed are a Police incident number and Police contact phone number.

Scam Victims

If you have been a victim of a scam, send me your story and I will add it to the Scam Victims page. I won't include any personally identifiable information.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE USING THIS BLOG.

ALL of the lotteries, draws, compensation schemes, inheritances, payment agent jobs, mystery shopper jobs and business proposals involving large sums of money that you receive by email ARE SCAMS. NO ORGANISATION ANYWHERE EVER holds random email draws. They are ALL SCAMS. You CANNOT WIN a lottery or prize draw that you HAVE NOT ENTERED.
Please don't post comments asking me if the scams you have received are real. I can't answer them all and you KNOW they are scams!

Your Account Update

Another obvious bank scam email.  Where does that link take you?  http://capital-security.us/ – NOT the address of the Bank of America website.
NEVER click on a link in a bank email – even if it does appear to have come from your own bank.  ALWAYS enter the address of the bank directly into your browser.
If you think you might have accidentally given your bank details to a scammer CONTACT your bank immediately.
