    Just had a Whatsapp message from some guy named Mike Waltz. Says "your shipping lane is in the process of being cleared. For details of payment please reply to this message-applies to Europe only" is this on the level or is some knob jockey trying me on?

    Have you ordered anything? If so get in touch with the vendor and ask them direct.

    Edit: Just seen who Mike Waltz is :joy:

    It can't be on the level - Whatsapp is encrypted. It would have been an SMS text if it had been the real MW.
