I've had 4 calls in the past 3 days from Indian scammers pretending to be from BT Open reach as my PC is infected.

My record for winding one up so far is 40 minutes. He was persistent.

Seriously though, has anyone else had any? My dad has had a few as well. It seems they're ramping up their scam activity.


Ah, the advantages of not having a phone plugged into the land line

I do get the occasional spammy call to my mobile but it's always 'Our records show you were in a recent car accident that wasn't your fault'. I used to be polite with them and tell them I've not owned a car in years.. then they said 'oh, maybe it's someone else at the same address'.. I tell them I live alone.. they say they'll update their records.. and that'd be the end of it. Now, I just hang up on them.

I finally unplugged my landline phone after getting 8+ calls from "Microsoft" every fucking day. It did stop for a while after Gaz answered once (sexism) but then started up again.

I just get them on my mobile now instead :roll:

Weird, must be caching then. But refreshing doesn't update for me. It's only been since you updated the forum but it's possible it may be coincidental.

It's not server-side caching, or we'd see the same thing. Your local browser must have grabbed it.

Opening the image in a new window and then refreshing that will probably do it.

Spoke to the BT Openreach engineer outside who was blocking my driveway. Seemed to think they were ok.

Considering WPD, Openreach, the council lighting services and the police have all been here (and I'm assuming ambulance service too), looks like a lot of stuff was knocked out.

Western Power Distribution. They purchased Central Networks from E.ON and run the distribution network in the East Midlands.

The police were not offered a drink because myp is a Marxist and Earl gray is off the table as all proper tea is theft.
