The warning comes amid growing concern over phone thefts and digital fraud, with criminals increasingly targeting banking apps, passwords and personal data stored on smartphones. The Five-Second Code That Could Save You In advice shared through the MoneySavingExpert newsletter, Lewis told users to immediately retrieve and save their phone’s IMEI number — the unique identification code linked to every mobile device. The process is simple. Users only need to dial *#06# on their handset. A screen containing the IMEI number will then appear. Lewis urged people to screenshot the code and store it somewhere separate from the phone itself, such as email or cloud storage. Why Thieves Fear The IMEI Number The IMEI acts like a digital fingerprint for a mobile device. If a phone is stolen, networks and police can use the code to identify or block the handset, making it harder for criminals to resell or reuse it. Speaking previously on This Morning, Lewis warned: “Everybody do this now.” He added that while the steps will not stop a theft happening, they can significantly reduce the risk of financial fraud after a device disappears. Fraud Risk Growing Faster Than Phone Theft Lewis also urged users to tighten security settings immediately. He advised enabling facial recognition or fingerprint access on both phones and banking apps, warning that weak security leaves users dangerously exposed once criminals gain physical access. Another key recommendation was disabling preview notifications on lock screens. Fraudsters can exploit visible text messages and banking alerts to intercept login codes and reset passwords within minutes. Networks Sound Alarm Too Mobile providers are echoing the warning. O2 says the IMEI is essential for registering and blocking stolen phones, helping protect both devices and customer accounts. As phone thefts become increasingly tied to organised fraud, the message from consumer experts is blunt: one screenshot now could save months of financial chaos later.

You still have to do the same basic things to keep yourself alive. Eat, sleep, manage health, money, relationships, rules, timing, luck, and whatever life throws at you. Thailand may change the frame around your life. Lower costs, different culture, different risks, different opportunities. But it does not mean you suddenly control life. And you are still a «guest» in thailand on temporary stay? Do not misunderstand me, I am not mocking your opinion. I am testing it.

This may seem like a non-issue for many but, over the past seven years or so, I demand that restaurants serve me with a glass of filtered water with ice…if they want my custom. I’ve walked out of a few. My regulars serve me ice ewater. Every restaurant kitchen uses filtered water, it’s not Switzerland. There are ~23 million people in greater Bangkok and every single one of them buys a plastic bottle of water every day. So where do all those plastic bottles get thrown away? There is no away. Convince places to patronise to give you a glass of water. In many countries, there’s a carafe on every table. Let’s make it happen here.] Italy’s top court rules against tourist refused tap water in Dolomites hotel Woman argued water was a universal human right but court ruled no law obliged hoteliers to serve it from tap Angela Giuffrida in Rome The Guardian: 26 May 2026 A tourist’s simple request for a glass of tap water at a hotel restaurant in the Italian Dolomites has culminated in Italy’s top court ruling that being served water from the tap is not a consumer right, after a lengthy and costly legal saga. According to Italian press reports, the woman repeatedly asked for tap water with her meal, even offering to pay for it. This was refused and instead she arrived at dinner each night to find a 0.75-litre bottle of mineral water, costing €7, on the table. The woman then pursued legal action, arguing water was “a natural resource and a universal human right” and that “the free provision of a minimum vital quantity is necessary to meet essential needs and must be guaranteed”, Corriere wrote. The woman considered tap water to be an integral part of the service at a restaurant or hotel, “much like finding a bed with sheets, a warm room and soap in the bathroom”. Asking for free tap water at a restaurant in Italy is generally considered a breach of etiquette, especially if the server has already offered the choice of a bottle of natural or sparkling water. But customers are becoming bolder, with many seeking to avoid using plastic, and more restaurants now offer filtered water.Thu, 28 May 2026 07:39:36 +0000This is probably exaggerated but that's the trend.
