Random thought

Being intelligent isn't having all the knowledge, it's the desire to constantly learn, to find out the things that you don't know.

First challenge of the day

Well it's not too much of a challenge, but I received a text this morning 

"Your accident claim has now been signed off & you have been awarded £3209.56, for us to transfer it to you ASAP just fill out the form http://injuryaid4u.com" 

Now usually I would just ignore texts like these, but I did have an accident a couple of years ago and I stupidly told a company about it. That along with the website made me think "hold on a minute, I should check this out, just incase I'm going to miss out on £3000". 

So I googled the number that text me, and didn't find anything - like I wouldn't if they were a real person. I tried various forms of the number and didn't find anything. 

Seems quite promising. 

Then I googled the name from the website. Here I found lots of "Whois" websites giving information about the domain name. (As well as the actual website). There wasn't much information but it did give the date it was registered - 21st July 2014. 

Yeah, I don't think so. 

I also noticed 'previous domain' was something like "sixweekabs". Definitely not. 

In conclusion, it does prove good to check, it could have real!
