Cyber criminals could empty your bank account and harvest your personal details in new email scam
A new email scam is trying to trick people into clicking on a link which could potentially drain their bank account and harvest their personal information. The email purports to be from the Royal Bank of Scotland advising them that a request to change their mobile number has been received.
It then shows a partial mobile phone number stating that this one will become active in 24 hours - unless you contact them through the link provided to cancel the move. It also states that a ‘one-time passcode will be sent to your previous mobile to ‘authenticate the request’ - but it’s not genuine and just callous crooks trying to capitalise on the cost of living crisis.
Millions of households are keeping a close eye on spending and with most people using mobile, online or telephone banking to access their cash, anyone receiving this email might believe it’s real, especially if they are with RBS. The headline of the fake email reads “RBS:Your mobile contact details has been updated .” - the key indicators here that something isn’t right are the grammatical and punctuation errors. But most of us are guilty of opening emails after just reading the first couple of words in the subject line or seeing the sender’s name.

Variety and quantity of dietary insoluble fiber intake from different sources and risk of new-onset hypertension - BMC MedicineBackground The relations of the variety and quantity of different sources of dietary insoluble fibers and hypertension remain uncertain. We aimed to investigate the associations between the variety and quantity of insoluble fibers intake from six major food sources and new-onset hypertension, using data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS). Methods Twelve thousand one hundred thirty-one participants without hypertension at baseline from CHNS were included. Dietary intake was measured by three consecutive 24-h dietary recalls combined with a household food inventory. The variety score of insoluble fiber sources was defined as the number of insoluble fiber sources consumed at the appropriate level, accounting for both types and quantities of insoluble fibers. The study outcome was new-onset hypertension, defined as blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg, or physician-diagnosed hypertension or receiving antihypertensive treatments during the follow-up. Results During a median follow-up of 6.1 years, 4252 participants developed hypertension. There were L-shaped associations of dietary insoluble fibers derived from vegetables, beans, tubers, and fruits with new-onset hypertension; a reversed J-shaped association of whole grain-derived insoluble fiber with new-onset hypertension; and no obvious association of refined grain-derived insoluble fiber with new-onset hypertension. Therefore, refined grain was not included in the insoluble fiber variety score calculation. More importantly, a higher insoluble fiber variety score was significantly associated with lower risks of new-onset hypertension (per score increment, hazard ratio, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.45–0.55). Conclusions There was an inverse association between the variety of insoluble fibers with appropriate quantity from different food sources and new-onset hypertension.
