Warning re Student Finance Scam
I have recently received an email re student finance that look like it came from .gov.uk...As I have not applied or notr have I received student finance, I looked into it further before opening the email. It is a scam and they will be asking for your bank details. Please be aware and not fooled and pass this on to anyone you thinkmay be taken in by scams.

There seems to be so many scams at the moment, my mother got a phone call a few weeks ago saying she had been reported by her ISP and there was a problem with her computer sending loads of e-mails clogging up servers which must be sorted out, they basically wanted to take control of her machine, install some dodgy software along with keyloggers etc, pinch all her documents and charge her for the privalage thankfully she managed to get rid of them however a neighbour of hers didn't smell a rat so I am going to sort her PC out tonight.

So we all need to be on our guard.
