This man maybe does not have his full faculties (94). Perhaps he needs someone to be looking out for him and told NOT to answer the phone unless he knows the identity of the caller. If he does have his full faculties (and many 90+ people sure do) he should have been aware NOT to hand out this...

This woman supposedly was or was running to be a Greens Senator so once could assume she had some intelligence. This scam has been around for ages and she ticked that she was NOT carrying a suitcase for anyone else. The suitcase when weighed was around 6 kgs empty apparently so I understand...

In this household we are on ultra alert at all times (sadly). All phone calls (unless coming up as someone we know) are ignored and if a message is not left we do not bother calling back. Sad really that in this day and age we should be able to relax and enjoy our remaining years but with...

That is shocking. I will keep an eye on my account to make sure my carers allowance goes in every fortnight.

Like you I just cannot do Soduku but have never been any good with anything to do with numbers (but fine with finances LOL).

I would NEVER click on any of the above you have listed. First thing I would do is ring the organisation direct myself and check out myself. Better to be safe than sorry.

I would not know. It is up to Services Australia to keep our information safe.

I well remember my 94 year old dad sitting in his chair with his eyes closed. One day I said what are you thinking Dad. He said I am going over the phone numbers in my head and he then rattled off quite a few landline numbers of friends and also mobile numbers. Now that I am classed as...

I do not take the "special" tickets at face value. I look around at larger size products and take note of the unit price. Have done this for ages. So many just race in see the special ticket and pick up and off. You need to be on the ball these days and use your common sense (sadly lacking...

We have been living in a "not for profit" RAAF village in Western Australia. We know exactly how much us or our estate will get on our departure. We also know that the amount will be paid in 90 days and there are no exit fees. All maintenance is paid for in our monthly fee and our total...

Exactly. I am so careful these days. Whenever I am paying a bill online I get my husband to check the numbers I am putting in and I also double check everything before I hit enter.

One thing I am pleased about is the fact that when you pay someone using a BSB and their account number the name of the person or organisation you are paying has to be displayed. I am super cautious when I have paid this way as you only need to get one number wrong and there goes your money...

LOL...how privileged you are to get one from King Charles! Makes you wonder at the mentality of some of these scammers.

Spend spend spend does Labor...but on the wrong things.

I enjoy one cup a day and have about two cups of tea and I enjoy a glass of red wine at night (not every night but most). Everything in moderation and I am in perfect health for my age which is 80. I walk 30mins a day on my treadmill and get told I do not look my age...so I am happy ;)...

I only buy most things when on special and with that new Chrome extension I will now have a fair idea when the special for what I am after is going to come around. Most times I buy more than one and that way I never pay full price.

I had text message to say it was from fraud squad and to ring them on such and such a number. What I did was ring my bank on the number I know is correct (got it from my bank statement to be doubly sure) and yes it was indeed their fraud squad. I then went ahead and spoke to them to find that...

Have not tried their reds but have had some of their whites and they were fine I did read an article on wine a little while ago and it said it costs about seventy cents to produce a bottle of every day wine. Do not know if that is true or not but that is what I read.

Have not had a coffee outside the home in ages. Just getting too expensive for seniors.

Please, please always take your receipt at Aldi. Last week I arrived home and found I had been charged for a cauliflower $4.49 when in fact I had purchased a head of broccoli which was selling at $3.99 a kg. I live close by and went back with the broccoli and sorted it out. The charge should...
