I'm enjoying giving these a rating - another 2/10

I did Google Neil Trotter and won the lottery but I strongly suspect it's not from him

Hello,

I am Neil Trotter and my foundation is donating (€2,000,000.00 EUR) to you. Contact us via my email [email protected] further details.

All reply should be copy and sent to: [email protected]_

That author is from an NESB, as per usual.
I would have written "all replies should be copied and sent to:".
 
Now, has anyone seen something like that with a pedal to open the lid?
I do like the sleek metal look of the rubbish bin, tho.
Real yeah, flash dude, flasho.

Now, if Aus/Aust/Australia really used the word "trash" as in other parts of the world, a lot of people would fall for that.
From a cleaners pov, a lot of cleaners from other parts of the world, ie, new migrants, would still call it "trash" bags.
What is so wrong about calling them rubbish bin liners, or just bin liners.

Trash, indeed... trash.

I had my work email compromised when I clicked on a pdf I shouldn't have. I was bombarded with about 2500 emails in a 12hr period (which is practically a respite compared to Vinomofo), most from seemingly legit websites asking me to activate or confirm my new account.

Then my VFF was hacked. No idea how they got my VFF account number. They didn't do any damage but had changed the contact email, which I realised when I couldn't access the account and didn't receive any link to 'rest the password'. VFF were very efficient in sorting it out, but only because it was business hours. Why VFF don't have 2FA is a question I'll be putting to them. So now I'm somewhat nervously awaiting the next hack which is a bit like having the Sword of Damocles over my head.
