Hi guys just thought I'd share this text I just got and ask advise as to what to do about ( I'm not going to reply, i don't think,but it is just sooo random and at 9pm at night aswel!) oh and I'm from Northumberland so not very close by for another childminder to be asking my advise!!

Hmm think it's just one of those texts that you disregard but thought I'd share first and see if anyone else had got a similar message before??


Text received as follows:


Hello. My name is Danny Marshall. I am looking at going into childcare, and a basically looking for advice. I am unqualified, but am a very quick learner. If there are any contacts or website addresses you could give me, that would be brill. I come from southport in the north west thanks for reading my message :)

I just got that one as well!! I get a lot of requests for help from random people so didn't think too much of it tbh.

I gave them the forum address and got a 'thank you' reply.

I wonder if they will join? :D

Just be careful that it is not one of those scams to get you to reply and once you do they end up taking your credit off your phone.

I'd just delete & ignore. It might be genuine, but there are so many scams out there, that I don't trust anyone anymore. If they really want the info, it's easy enough to find on the internet.

DON'T REPLY!!!!!! Delete it - it could be one of the scams where as soon as you reply, they run up a nice big bill for you.

I agree with this! It's the first thing I do to find information now.
