Nailing it by Vicky

I’ve had a few of these!
Sharing to raise awareness.
Have you had one?

If you've been receiving these relentless 'Add my number on WhatsApp' calls, you're not alone! It is important to share with others what these calls could mean.😳😩

Thousands of phone users across the UK are receiving strange calls from unknown mobile numbers asking them to carry out a single specific instruction.🧐

Phone users across the country report getting incoming calls or voicemails containing a short request spoken in a human voice. The calls do not state who is calling or why, simply repeating the phrase to move the conversation onto WhatsApp.🤷

One victim admitted adding a number after expecting a tradesperson, only to immediately receive messages about remote job opportunities.

Others say simply answering these unknown calls places their numbers onto active target lists for further scam contact.‼️

Cyber security advice urges anyone receiving these calls to block the caller and avoid messaging them under any circumstances.📵

If you have lost money or shared personal details after answering a suspicious call, you can report it directly to Report Fraud on 0300 123 2040, or call Police Scotland on 101.✅

Oh my days! Has anyone ever tried these? They’re absolutely fit! 😋🤤

💅🏼A quick note about TPO seen as it has hit the headlines again…

TPO (Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide) is an ingredient that was used in some gel products to help them cure under UV/LED light. It has been classified as a reproductive toxin and is now prohibited in cosmetic products in Great Britain.

Importantly, the amount used in nail products was over 1,000 times lower than the amount associated with the fertility effects in toxicology studies, and nail products are applied to the nail rather than ingested, so actual exposure would be considerably lower.

For your reassurance, I would like to let you know that my gel polishes are completely TPO-free, so you have zero TPO exposure from the products I use. ❤️

At around 7pm last night, phones across England and Wales received a Government emergency alert warning of the serious risk of wildfires during the extreme heat.

There was very little public warning that this alert was coming.

And there is another safety issue we need to talk about.

If you are experiencing domestic abuse and have a secret or emergency phone hidden from your partner, tonight’s alert may have caused that phone to make a loud noise or vibrate — even if you normally keep it on silent.

If that has happened to you, or you are worried that your phone has been discovered, please prioritise your immediate safety.

If you are in immediate danger, call 999.

If you cannot speak when you call 999 from a mobile, listen to the operator and, when prompted, press 55 so they know it is a genuine emergency.

If you have a concealed phone, the Government specifically acknowledges this risk and provides instructions for switching emergency alerts off:

iPhone:
Settings → Notifications → scroll to the bottom → switch off Severe Alerts and Extreme Alerts.

Android:
Search Settings for “Emergency Alerts” → switch off Severe Alerts and Extreme Alerts.

Please only make changes to a device when it is safe for you to do so.

The UK’s first live alert that isn’t a drill. Flippin’ made us jump! Haha
Seriously though. Thinking of all those affected in the Midlands with all the houses, businesses and land being caught, and the lives lost 😢
