To too many Tory MPs watching the football last night, it was all too familiar. George Freeman took to Instagram to share his own sense of déjà vu: ‘It’s a shocker. Lacking coherence. Command of the game. Any sense of direction. Another night in Parliament watching the national team. A v quiet tearoom dreaming of a super sub. “We need some inspiration from somewhere”.’ The big question, can Theresa May take inspiration from Harry Kane’s final moments on the pitch.

Fortnite scam WARNING over dodgy ‘free V-Bucks’ sites that steal your login info and money
THE makers of hit video game Fortnite have issued a warning to players about fraudsters that trick kids out of their money. In an email seen by The Sun, Epic Games warned over "scam sites" that offer free or discounted V-Bucks, a virtual currency in the game. Fortnite's huge and sudden popularity has led to a large increase in scammers targeting naive gamers. Players spent $296million on V-Bucks (which let you buy in-game items) in April, as they desperately try to impress their pals. That's why some fraudsters are using fake websites that promise V-Bucks offers, but actually work to steal your info. "Beware of scam sites offering things like free or discounted V-Bucks," warned Epic Games. "The only official websites for Fortnite are epicgames.com and fortnite.com." Epic Games said that "scammers will work to replicate the look and feel of an official Epic website", and gamers to double-check the web address to make sure it's a legitimate site. These websites will either promise … [Read more...] about Fortnite scam WARNING over dodgy ‘free V-Bucks’ sites that steal your login info and money
Fortnite scam warning issued over ‘free or discounted V-Bucks’ – here’s how to stay safe
EPIC Games has issued a fresh warning about Fortnite scams that trick youngsters into handing over cash. Rogue scammers lure Fortnite players in with the promise of free or discounted V-Bucks, a virtual in-game currency. But rather than receiving the digital dosh, Fortnite players are left out of pocket. Epic Games has been grappling with a rush of Fortnite scams since the game shot to enormous popularity earlier this year. Scammers take advantage of Fortnite's young player-base, banking on the fact that gamers will be young and naive enough to fall for their tricks. In a new tweet posted to its official Twitter account, Epic Games wrote: "Say NO to scams! Beware of scam sites offering free or discounted V-Bucks." The game studio linked to a support page detailing the problem. "We've seen several instances of account theft and fraud related to websites that claim to provide you free V-Bucks or the ability to share or buy accounts," Epic Games explained. "Please never share your … [Read more...] about Fortnite scam warning issued over ‘free or discounted V-Bucks’ – here’s how to stay safe
Kids scamming Fortnite’s V-Bucks from parents is YouTube’s latest pranking craze
YOUNG Fortnite YouTubers have come up with a new tactic for raking in the views -- videos of them 'pranking' their parents or other family members by racking up huge bills on their credit cards to buy items in the game. One British YouTuber, spotted by gaming blog Kotaku, who goes by the name of Morgz has a whole series of 'prank' videos that have more than 20 million views between them showing him spending hundreds of pounds on Fortnite items. His parents 'find out' in the course of the video, and then 'freak out' over the spending. While his videos seem clearly staged, many commenters on them don't seem to be in on the joke. "Dude u [sic] need to chill..is Fortnite [more] important than your mother," one asks, while another just says "idiot, respect your mom." Another particularly prolific 14-year-old YouTuber, Dom Tracy, racked up two million views with a video of him trying to buy £375 worth of the in-game V-bucks on his mother's credit card. One of his videos sees him … [Read more...] about Kids scamming Fortnite’s V-Bucks from parents is YouTube’s latest pranking craze
