$50 to Ukraine, one is stuffed, 20 years.
(Preview)
I have donated a lot more than that to Ukraine (no personal family history), but I am completely stuffed nevertheless! I don't have any children, so no next generation that russia can happily murder.

SMS: 'Medicare: Please process your refund via https://bit.ly/******* by 18/02/2024' I don't have anything to claim. I wouldn't click on it even if I had outstanding claim/s. Just a reminder of one of the endless scams to utterly ruin one's life.
