BT Scam Warning
Hello friends, BT Scam Warning.
Today I had call on our unlisted Telephone Number from a Spam Group stating that they were BT and the Internet would be closed within the next 24Hrs and dial 1 to fix it, having seen this crap before I called Plusnet my provider and asked them if this was correct, I was told it was scam and thank God I never called them. SO BEWARE ALL PLEASE call you provider on another number not the number that called you.

""I don't answer calls at home from numbers I don't know, but at work today, I answered a colleagues phone, as he was out of the office, and it went something like this:
Me: Hello, Ian's phone.
Him: Hello sir, I am calling from BT, and I have to tell you that your internet connection has been compromised.
Me: Oh dear, that is a shame.
Him: I need you to urgently do something on your computer.
Me: ok.
Him: Are you at your computer?
Me: Yes.
Him: Can you see the control key on your keyboard?
Me: Which one is the control key?
Him: It has CTRL written on it.
Me: Yes, I see it.
Him: What key is next to it?
Me: Fn.
Him: Next to FN is a key with 4 little squares on it, that is the Windows key. Do you see it?
Me: Yes.
Him I need you to press... (where he gave me a key combination that I can't remember).
Me: Sorry, I can't do that.
Him: Why?
Me: I only have one finger.
Him: (he then repeated the original keystroke request).
Me: (shouting a bit) I told you I only have one finger. I can only press one key at a time.
Him: No problem sir. Please go to Google screen and type 'what is my IP'.
Me : OK.
Him: What can you see?
Me: A message.
Him: What is the message?
Me: It says 'you are being scammed by an Indian call centre. It is very bad to scam people with only one finger'.
Him: You say you only have one finger, sir?
Me: Yes.
Him: Can you do one thing for me? Take your finger and stick it up your a**e.
Me: Thankyou and goodbye.
These people can be so rude!""
