My sister sent me one of those except it was a joke, not a phishing scam.  Click on the link and it was a picture of a smiling gorilla extending a middle finger! :laugh:

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱

As a citizen of the UK, I resent not being able to see a gorilla flipping me the bird and being able to claim my £1200, yes Pounds Sterling, forget exchange rates! :biggrin:
