Male with indian subcontinent accent called at 8:50 this morning claiming to be from bt openreach needing my cooperation to deal with multiple hackers threatening my emails. After a nice chat, I closed the call. He called back immediately and offered to provide verification of his identity. I ended this call under the threat of immediate loss of my Internet connection. So far so good.

Called me 8.03 am. Initially seemed to be no-one at the other end, then just as I was about to put the phone down a rather timid sounding female, possible Chinese, came on saying was from BT calling me about my internet connection. Whole thing was very naive.
