Scam/Fraud
02 Dec 2023
Purported to phoning from Virgin Media, "not getting the [broadband] service I should". Asked for colour of Hub status light, how many devices on network, then - the giveaway - requested I visit a (non-Virgin Media) URL. At which point I said I didn't believe him and he hung up immediately.
