Well, that is the morning to have. The phone call plays an automatic message saying " This is a department of social protection. We noticed suspicious activity on your PPS number. We are filing a lawsuit against you for money laundering, drug trafficking, and xxxxx. Press 1 to find out more information about the investigation." Of course, I was hesitant to press 1 but even before it gave me time to click anything the phone call ended. Now idk about these things but I am quite sure social protection doesn't play an automatic message to inform you about having a lawsuit and instead sends a letter. This could be scam involving HSE data leak.

Beware of this New Visa Scam Phone Call!
I groggily answered the ringing phone at 6am, and was alarmed to hear an official-sounding robotic voice. “This is the alert system with Visa (or Mastercard) account services!” It went on to tell me that there were two suspicious charges to my Visa card.

A comment was deleted but it is still in search results. Why?
Google and other search engines (Bing, Yandex…) have their own memory, so they don’t display an excerpt from the site that always 100% corresponds to reality. It can take a while for the search engine to reindex the site content and display a relevant site excerpt. It generally takes weeks, occasionally it may take months.
Can you give me the IP address or some information on the author of the comment?
The quality of the forum matters to us a lot, so our ideal goal is that nobody needs any information on the author of a comment. However, it is possible that a potentially unlawful comment appears on the site. In that case, please contact the police who we will fully cooperate with to investigate the source of the comments.
Most comments are submitted anonymously. In this case we do not have the name or the email address of the author. We do not save readable IP addresses of posters either, only encrypted. We are, therefore, able to determine that for instance two comments were sent from the same device, but we are unable to provide a readable IP address.
