	Some must think we are bleeding hearts, Email, purportedly from a cousin, asking if I had ever used Amazon. Initially replied yes but rang cousin after a second email from ‘her’ asking me to purchase an Amazon Airbnb gift card as a gift for a friend who was poorly (named as Susan Barnes) and my cous would refund the money . Very strange, I thought, as my cousin is perfectly capable of buying online (she does not do it often though) but you can also buy Amazon cards in lots of shops. This morning I had an email from ‘Susan Barnes’ asking where her Airbnb card was. Poor poorly dear, she will be waiting until Kingdom come for that card!
