Got a call lunchtime, claiming to be from BT: 0193 257 1002
A well-spoken lady, in *loud* call-centre, sorta-Asian accent that took a while for my old ears to untangle...
Apparently, my BT broadband was 'slow'.
I replied I was with Virgin, was told BT supply the lines.
I said my service ran slow from time to time, usually when peak-hours in eg Asia or US, but *only* from sites there.
She said the slow-down was due to my old modem/router cable box.
I replied that my box was *recent*, as upgraded for VOIP.
She said my box was slow due to 'old' software, needing an upgrade.
I asked if a re-boot would auto-update.
No, I must connect my box to their 'Safe and Secure' site, accept the down-load...
{ Yeah, right: Pull the other leg, there's bells on it... }
No, first I must check--

It sounds like a phish, teases like a phish, wriggles like a phish, but is it a phish ??
