Phone call saying my Virgin broadband has been hacked

[neilwhiteley]

Hi, everyday day this and last week, i have received a phone call saying that my broadband has been hacked, as these scam/phishing calls?

No info was given during these calls and no apps have been installed.

Thanks, Neil.

Best one so far was a scam claim to be from HMRC, claimed my National Insurance Number would be cancelled.

At the time I was on a consultancy assignment at HMRC Southend, the folks in the office roared in laughter at the voice on the speaker phone.

Hello neilwhiteley

Sorry to hear of the repeated calls in regards to your broadband being compromised, we can understand the concern this can cause and you raising this via the forums. Welcome to the community.

As Client62 has advised, this is a scam call. Virgin Media would never contact you to advise of issues of this nature, it is scammers trying to gain access to your personal and private information.
