Beware of Email Scams

Over the last 10 days, I have received 2 emails purporting to come from WordPress and asking me to renew my domain. The below is the text of the latest scam, and I’m reproducing it here in order to bring the scam to the attention of my followers and other WordPress users:

“Auto Payment ID Declined

Dear Valued Customer,

We attempted to process your automatic payment for your domain renewal at WordPress.com, but unfortunately, your payment method was declined.

To avoid any disruption to your website or email services, please update your payment method or renew your domain manually as soon as possible.

Renew My Domain <https://soyfix.com/log/log/login.php>

Thank you for choosing WordPress.com.

________________________________

Kind regards,

WordPress.com Billing Team”.

You will see that the link to renew the domain does not contain a WordPress web address. This is a big red flag indicating that the email does not come from WordPress and should be deleted.

If you have any doubts about the status of your domain you should log into your account on wordpress.com to check its status. Please never click on a link within an email purporting to come from WordPress.

Her Umbrella

3 Replies

You left your umbrella behind

For me to find.

I remember, it had ducks.

I let you know.

But we did not go

Down that path again.

Still I remember the ducks

And she who came

To me in the rain.

Halloween Poems

2 Replies

In honour of the horror of Halloween, and to make you scream:

Will You Go?

“Will you join in death’s dance

And find romance

In Hades below?

Touch my skin

Soft as snow.

My love will you go

Where the death lilies grow?”

Halloween:

Light fades.

Shades

In forgotten graves

Stir.

Black cats purr.

Despair

On a broomstick travels.

Joy unravels

As hope dies

And the vampire flies

Through pitch black skies.

Clocks and Flowers

5 Replies

I am wrapped around

In the profound

Silence of the morning.

No birds stir.

And my old clock’s

Steady tick tock

Goes unheard.

Earthly clocks measure hours.

But flowers

Know not time

Yet pervade

All our graves.

While we no not

Clocks and flowers.

My Poetry Reading on the World Poetry Cafe

On Thursday 23^rd October, I appeared on the World Poetry Café. During the show, I read several of my own poems, including “On the Death of a Writer”, which appears in my most recent collection, “Passing Through; Some Thoughts on Life and Death”. In addition, I read Philip Larkin’s wonderful poem “Ambulances”.
