That renting scam thing is awful. But would one transfer money into an unknown person's account on trust? I suppose students can be a bit inexperienced and an easy target.

It's very discouraging to realise there are such dishonest predators about. Norfolk villages could be seen as easy hunting grounds, as there are a lot of elderly folk living in them, and being fairly isolated, the Police take ages to arrive if summoned.

I've been getting quite a few Spam messages in my email box recently saying 'your Amazon order is ready to dispatch'. I know full well whether I've ordered something or not, and these are all con-merchants.

Sadly, my 'hot Russian lady' hasn't been in touch for yonks. I do hope she's okay.
