.@WhichUK has begged Instagram parent company Meta to take this scam offline. So have some of its victims. We've been asking since November. It's still live today and new victims keep being scammed. Make it make sense.

People who type their Whatsapp message continuously for 5 minutes before finally posting a few short words. What the hell are you doing over there? You're literally giving me palpitations.

@ScottMcGready Yes it's certainly quite anxiety-provoking for me knowing both my girls' original birth certs are in the post, being missorted and zig-zagging around the country 😬

My latest investigation for @WhichMoney. It's a steal: how we uploaded fake bargains on second-hand marketplaces.

There really are no words.
1. I don’t often tweet about my personal life, but on 1st November, my mum Jane was hit by a large vehicle as a pedestrian in St. Louis, USA. She suffered a severe brain injury & remains in a coma in hospital. Here's Jane & me in happier times.

I was just asked (for an event bio) how long I've been writing about scams. Turns out, it's 8.5 years, which is exactly a quarter of my lifespan. I've spent 25% of my life doing it! That's rather shocked me.
