Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I don't tend to open most of the more obvious scam emails I receive. Most aren't from companies I recognise, so I report them as spam/phishing on Outlook which doesn't seem to do much. If they are from HMRC, PayPal, eBay etc I'll forward them to the relevant phishing team. I forward suspicious text messages to 60599.

I've just been offered a chat with Rebecca from an Italian dating site who says, "I like you a lot." I'd better put that in the trash before my wife sees it!

As per Gordon G, I found a foolproof way to prevent all these scams addecting you. If it doesn't work, I'll guarantee intant re-imbursement.

Just send £10 to cover postage and I'll email you the book.

We have Netflix, but I pay for it. Raffo has just received this brilliantly hopeless scam from 'netflix' (HQ apparently now in Peru). It really is the pits!

'It is critical that you check the status of your payment very away to make sure everything is in order. Bad things might happen, but you shouldn't freak out about it since anything can happen. There will be no more problems accessing Netfli𝚡 for you when you have triumphed over these obstacles.'
