Hi
Just received a phone call (landline) where an Indian sounding lady said she was calling from BT Security department. Said that they are calling BT Internet (which I'm not) customers as some viruses may have been downloaded to their computers!
I said "Ooh, I also work for BT (used to, but been retired 6 years), which department are you in?" She hung up - wonder why???
A variation on the "Hello, this is Microsoft Security...."
Not new but worth mentioning to anyone you know who could be taken in.
