Email scam from Broad Oak toiletries

I received an email a few days ago regarding an invoice from Broad Oak Toiletries. The email was very plain, but looked like a normal email. The email was from a person called Sue Mockridge and included an attached. At first I thought the person had just sent it to the wrong person and I considered forwarding it on to our accounts department, then I briefly thought about opening the invoice, but thank God I did not. After looking on the net I found out it was a malicious scam and deleted the email.

My advice to anyone is that if you receive an email you are not expecting with an attachment do not open it, that must be rule one. Best thing to do is use Google and check if anyone else has reported it, if not still do not open it, do a bit of research into the company it came from and even contact the company before opening it.

TV Guide app data usage very high

Recently I had a look at my mobile data usage on my Nexus 4 phone and was surprised to see in the last month the TV Guide app had used 100MB, this was surprising as I hardly use this app, the app size is only 2.2 MB so what else was using the data, I thought this was very strange and quickly removed the app from my phone. Think it would be nice for companies like this to tell users what they are doing that means high data usage when you are not actually using the app.

New iPlayer volume control on Samsung TV

Updated BBC iPlayer on our Samsung TV this week and although overall it looks like an improvement they have removed the volume control. The previous volume control was not very good, but removing it means you need to exit iPlayer to adjust the control then go back in. It also means you cannot mute the volume. Think they need to fix this major bug.
