Received called from this number today and didn't answer thankfully. I've had a few of these in recent months, from different numbers, am wondering if it's anything connected with the talktalk hack as I was one of their customers. Anyone else or is it just random?

CLearly they're all out today... Call telling me my computer was at risk. Supposedly a company called Tech Hub. Scam
2nd call again today ! how are they allowed to get away with this ! ......Grrrr
Just had the same call 5 minutes ago.
called by 01787315859 at 1159 (23rd Dec) and she started telling me all my information on the computer was at risk. I told her that she should be ashamed to be scamming people like this and she hung up.
Just called me @ 12.05pm Foreign guy called Sylvester! calling about my computer. I told him his fortune and hung up
called today, only answered it because of the local number however it was a scam
Ignored
My experience was similar to the above posters message. I realised it was a scam immediately, and he (African / Nigerian) sounding male wanted me to verify my identity. The exchange went as follows. Him : Are you Mr 'Anon' Me: That depends. Who are you and what do you want? Him: It doesn't depend on anything. We will simply go ahead and disconnect your computer. Then he hung up. I hope these people are caught and they are issued with an enormous fine. I'm going to register this number on every complaint service available.
Very condescending person called regarding my computer. Several attempts at asking her to clarify company name but never got a straight reply. Hung up and blocked number!
Somebody calling regarding my "Windows Computer". After explaining that I do not own one (I genuinely don't, I have a work laptop) I was given "you don't know whether you own a computer" with a condescending laugh. After angrily correcting the man I asked to be taken off their call list and hung up. I usually don't pick up these calls but as it was a relatively local number I stupidly thought otherwise!
