Scam!!!!

[Barbel Mick]

Earlier today I had a phone call on the land line. The caller (Indian at a guess) told me that he was from Openreach. He continued to tell me my internet was playing up and it had shown up as a fault 'on their system'!
After 5 or 6 minutes playing a bit dumb & pretending I wasn't aware of a problem, but thanking him for pointing it out. I then asked what I could do to fix the problem, he gave me some technical shite that could make someone who wasn't at all knowledgeable believe him. After which, he said he could fix it there & then if I was happy for him to help me. After a little more conversation he said he would need to "let him log in to my computer & take control."
Two more words were said by me, the second one was OFF!! 

Be careful out there!!!!

And this morning I got a message on my phone to say I was a contact with someone who had tested positive for Omicrom and I should click a link to arrange a test.
I did not click the link but I did delete it.

Was it from 01269333025 ?
Allegedly Ammanford?

Just a plug for the pleasant pastime of spinning out calls from scammers as long as you can.
At least they can't be scamming vulnerable people if they are wasting their time trying to scam you.

If you haven't already, look up a chap who goes under the moniker 'Kitboga' on youtube - he takes on the Indian call centre scammers and keeps them on the line for hours - drives them wild! (he's also quite good with PCs and uses a virtual machine to spoof the scammers, makes them think they're about to get millions)...he's one of a number of scambaiters on YT [including the glitterbomb chap and <somebody> Brown who sounds like Liam Neeson] who are doing a sterling job stitching them up and (if the local authorities haven't already been bought) even gets some of them prosecuted (yay!...feckers!)

It's funny - I'm rarely moved to violence, but these wankers make me want to go over there and personally beat the living shit out of them!
