wife had a email what looked to be from amazon saying she had ordered a radio and it was being delivered to a guy in Liverpool ... we live in Swindon and she never ordered anything ... at the bottom of email there was a button ' if this is incorrect contact amazon'. She clicked thinking her account had been hacked and it asked for log on details and bank details to refund money ..... very clever in fact really really clever .., luckily she's brighter than me but never enter passwords or bank details ... Just a scam trying to get bank details
The biggest scam Amazon pull is pretending to employ people on reasonable terms and conditions........................and when they've mastered the robot technology for warehouse order picking they wont employ anyone at all. Remember that the next time Amazon comes up as the cheapest option.
So many people are at it Ive had two calls from 'Talk Talk' telling me they'd detected a error in my Internet connection and proceeded to try to get details of me. They don't even hang-up straight away anymore if you call them out as scammers.
There's a lot of it about...easy money for someone... from anywhere in the world.. Banks cover some of the loss, but they won't forever .. But The banks are as much to blame , for allowing scammers accounts with no identification , easy for people to collect scammed money,
Neither will any other bulk retailer. Amazon may be pumping all the money into research but they'll all jump on the wagon once Amazon have cracked it. Same as any industry really.
I'm sure that is of great comfort to people who work in industry. Technology is great at innovation, but it isn't mandatory to implement it..................
Well lets hope that this robotic revolution allows those in conventional industrial jobs to move into the robotic sector - assembling their own replacement. But its not just industry at risk:- https://www.theguardian.com/technol...-intelligence-ai-fukoku-mutual-life-insurance
I seem to buy lots of telly's in wales according to the emails, never opened them, the emails that is.
Scammers are everywhere. I had a bloke at the door asking to see my arse "for a survey". He wasn't doing a survey at all! He just wanted to see my arse, and I fell for it. I feel so stupid .
Sorry about that. The lads in the boozer bet me i couldnt get anyone to do it! Im a fiver better off now though. Btw id get that rash looked at!
What gets me is that you read stories saying 'oh dear, loads of jobs will go to robots or A1 in the future' like it's inevitable. But who's in charge? Have humans entirely given up thinking? WTF? Then you see all the investment columns saying 'Buy shares in robot industries, you'll make a quick buck shagging your kids' future.' Then you realise it's just blind greed all over again. Rich investors, mindless self serving CEOs, hopeless governments, rapist bankers. The older I get the more I think only direct action, blowing up factories etc, ever gets any change done. Let's do it!
Robots have used in industry since the 1970s. AI? "Cognitive technology that can think like a human”. Yeah, right. It's been just around the corner for years. I don't where this latest scare story has come from.
It's all over the newspapers so it must be true. (Puts tin hat on, crawls under table, waits for response)
Well gawd I hope you're right and it's just a bubble. Though walk into a supermarket and where have 50% of all the till staff gone? This is interesting... https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.ft.com/content/5a352264-0e26-11e6-ad80-67655613c2d6
