The phone Scammer who called me by my name!!
Hi Neighbours,
Just a quick warning to put a word out there that the phone scammers are becoming more & more sophisticated. Just last week I received a call from a person who called me by my name who was purportedly calling from my "Internet Service Provider" (ISP). They got my name and my ISP details correct!! Their reason for calling was that to "fix illegal activities on my internet connection which they had detected and wanted on in front of a computer to fix it ..."
After realising that I was an IT Expert was not going to play ball, the guy quickly hanged up obviously going for the next unsuspecting victim...
I am sharing my story so that hopefully someone does not become a victim... In my view the best way to deal with these guys is to let them know that you know that they are up to and then hang up, never entertain them!! That way they will not be any incentive to for them to persist....
Please let me know if you need any more info on how to stay safe online by making sure you have enough computer protection on your computer:
Cheers,
Nelson
