Whenever sites ask for an email/phone in exchange for info/access to something - i had one at the weekend, i always flip a digit somewhere. That helps to cut down on the spam.

I have recently been inundated by those McAfee emails as well but I don’t think it is the covid App to blame as I used a different email address for the covid App than the one the McAfee emails are coming to. The strange thing it, the McAfee emails are coming to an email address I no longer actively use, it is still active but I have been slowly phasing it out over the last couple of years and definitely haven’t given that email address to anyone in at least 2 years. All I can assume is that email address was taken in one of those large scale hacks of various companies that seemed to have happened over the last few years and has now been sold to scammers.

i have a very odd side affect and was wondering if anyone else has it too.

since registering all my details with the covid app ect i`ve been inundated with spam telling me my mcaffee subscription is running out.

then today the automated car crash phone calls started.

the only time i`ve used that email lately was for all the covid stuff.


quite strange

This government would sell your soul if they could.

Ive been to a big expo centre today where showing your covid pass on entry was mandatory. Except, thats all i did - show it. It wasnt scanned or anything. And to be honest, the attention given to it was so brief that i could have been flashing my lotto numbers. Its all ok these places reckoning to be 'careful', and claiming 'safety is a priority', but in reality they are just paying lip service to the notion.
