	We had an email from our local councillor this morning, warning everyone to be aware of scams promising the earth and failing miserably!! The latest is people offering to spray your garden with stuff that will protect you from Coronavirus. For a fee of course. It's hard to believe people are that gullible, but having read about the American who died from drinking fish-tank cleaning fluid, because it would prevent him getting ill, I suppose anything is possible. :-( :-(
