I have just had a scam phone call from Amazon to say that my Prime Account would be renewed automatically unless I pressed 1.  I don't have a Prime Account........

Me also.

There’s one going around Devon,where you get someone phoning saying your loft insulation is wrong and needs looking at. The city council tried ringing the number this morning and it does not accept calls. We had one but call minder intercepted it.

Yes we've had the Prime one twice now! Also the call about my recent car accident. Baring in mind the furthest it's gone off the drive since March is the supermarket once a week ....maybe I blinked!
 Junk mail that's when we know it's back to normal we go days without seeing the postman.

I had the car accident call. Obviously we've all been sleepwalking and gone for a drive, had an accident, returned home and to bed, completely oblivious.

Just had an email, claiming to be from DVLA support, "advising" me that I was entitled to get my vehicle tax back for 2019 and 2020. It suggested that they had tried to repay me automatically, but that hadn't worked, so they needed the correct bank details.
Needless to say, I hit delete rather than the link they had "helpfully" provided.
The mail appeared to have come a Japanese address.

We seem to get the call from Amazon about once a month. 
Yesterday a foreign lady wanted me to update my telephone preference account.
Put the phone down on both of them.

But you really know when things are getting back to normal is when the charity bags start arriving, I've had 3 of them in the last week, just more plastic to dispose of.
