Called twice today, claiming to be from Virgin Media and that my internet connection was being hacked. Wanted to get me to lookup my IP address so he could connect to my device to fix the security issue. Obviously not from Virgin Media.

Some chap with clear Indian origin accent claimed to be from BT Openreach and requested remote access to reconfigure our Router following "Echange changes that will slow down the Broadband". Cleary a hacker and extremely dangerous call. Naturally ended the call. I called back to the number the call originated from and some other Indian sounding fella saif they were Virgin Media and not BT Openreach. Avoid like the plague and shut down this number if possible.

Foreign man claiming to be from virgin media, called me repeatedly. I advised them to find a hole and to bury themselves in it. Haven't heard back since.

"indian-sounding" male claiming to represent VirginMedia. We hung up before they could threaten to cut off our line if we didn't pay them, but pretty sure it's the standard scam

Hung Up as soon as I asked if it was the hospital as waiting for a call. Obviously the caller had one speck of humanity left. 100% spam and possible dangerous call. Avoid.
