Another scam today.
A pre-recorded message supposedly from my internet provider (no company name given) telling me that my broadband was going to be disconnected within the hour because of problems with my IP address. All I had to do was press "1" to speak to an engineer. At this point, I point I put the phone down and rang my internet provider. Guess what, no problem with my IP address. Even the person that I spoke to had had one of these calls, where the scammer is just phishing for useful information.
