NO leave it alone. Some...

    ‘It can happen to anyone’: Woman loses $39,000 within minutes in sophisticated scam

    I’m disgusted with Nab ! They must hold a lot of responsibility making the woman wait 2 hours on the phone ! I have in the past spent hours trying to find the number of the damn bank !

    Popular food chain closes over ‘unprecedented economic times’: ‘That’s a wrap’

    I have never heard of them either, it isn’t the kind of food I eat being an old fashioned ex Pom I like meat and 3 veg usually. It does sound like a lot of businesses are going broke! Seems the only people getting ahead are the bosses of the big businesses.
