I’ve only had my mobile number for a week and I’m staggered at the amount of phone calls and text messages that I have received. When the phone rings I block the number, when I receive a message I translate it as I have done above. This is why the English is not very good.

Below is a message from the local government.

【Jiangsu Provincial Public Security Department】Recently, fraudsters have used the FaceTime function of Apple devices, and there are many phone fraud cases targeting middle-aged and elderly people! Please pay attention to the majority of Apple mobile phone users, if you don’t listen to unfamiliar FaceTime calls, you can’t believe them, and if you don’t need to turn them off in time (Settings-FaceTime). Don’t believe the “customer service” who comes to the door, such as mentioning words such as “deduction, refund, loan, credit information” and so on, most of them are scams

I think these messages are a good idea because there are many folk out there that don’t take the time to question, to have a second look, to go to a different source to confirm or deny what they have been told and of course never give out banking information . Years ago many of these scams would have stuck out like a sore thumb, however as we all know if it’s on Facebook or Tik Tok it must be true. 👍

On another note, this is a common sight 😭 At times it really feels petty and childish and you feel like shouting “Grow up for fucks sake” or many other such things………. I mean why can’t I listen to Tony Blackburn on Radio 2? Is he really going to rock the establishment, is he a threat to “Chinese Democracy” yes that’s a things belive it or not….. Not sure what it looks like though.
