router security

on ‎06-05-2021 10:11

I have this morning been called from Allegedly by Virgin Technical Support claiming my router has been hacked and is being used for illegal purposes, they asked for access to either a laptop or PC on my network, I obviously refused and promptly disconnected, has this been a one of or has this been seen around the community

Hundreds of posts about this on the Community. Known scam. You did the right thing. To emphasise again VM would never phone you about this kind of issue.
