Worried about the theft of your identity? You should be!

Yes, there is a free anti-fraud dark web monitoring service that will help you...

ClearScore has a free service that monitors the dark web for compromised passwords and other personal information, informing users of any potential breaches rapidly. If you use your email/password on a website, and that website is compromised, the chances are your details will be shared on 'dark web sites'. This is because the chances are the passwords you have used will be similar, and these will be used to find out more details about you, to use your identity and other fraudulent activities.

Online scams and your credit cards.

These are growing and are being more sophisticated, and a new generation above the old-fashioned emails and foreign nationals trying to send money back to the UK, and needing your help.
Current tricks like this are becoming popular:
You order something on ebay, or other online trading site.
The seller acknowledge the order, yet doesn't realise their machine is infected with malware
The Malware (viruses etc) picks up your details from the order, and sends out a text message asking you to top up the postage or similar, and this coincides with your order, so you think its genuine.
the text message directs you to https://royal-mail-uk.co/, which looks genuine, and as its only £3, you pay... and of course, you're sending your card & personal details.

Had computer problems this week? We've resolved a load of issues for people:
--
iMac - upgraded the harddrive, to provide more space and make it faster!
MacBook Pro - resurrected from the grim reaper, and sourced the correct charger (cheaper than buying a new one)
PC Desktop - took receipt of a new base unit and transferred the data - pictures & college work. No late maks (or the classic 'dog ate the homework!), and was cheaper than buying a completely new system.and last;
External Harddrive - recovered a decade of pictures & movies from a broken device. Money cant' replace these memories, but in most cases, we can recover them ;-)
