Impersonation scams

The Coffee Shop does not park cars, and we do not have Ring-go accounts - so I just laugh off things like this, sent twice to our "official" email address in the middle of the night, said to be from a Polish email address.



The Coffee Shop does not collect personal any payment details (we remain free) so it is highly unlikely anyone will claim to be "us".  However, if you are in any doubt about the authenticity of any messages from us or from our servers, please email us via the official address at the bottom of all of our pages, typing in the address and not just clicking on it!

I get several messages of this ilk every day; usually about either my expired McAfee contract - which hasn't existed for at least a decade - or the fact that my BT Cloud service has run out of space, which it certainly has because the system was permanently closed around two years ago.

Other favourites concern a variety of issues with the motor vehicle that I don't have.

I hate to think how many entries my Blocked Sender list now contains!

For the future, information about Great Brisish Railways, by customers and for customers.
