I've had the same call twice recently. These robotic nuisances should be stopped!

Oh no! very worried as just got a call from 01270 669211 saying my IP address has been compromised and I am about to lose my internet.

Don't worry, it's a scam. Some of them sound very convincing, the last we had was asking to switch on the PC, I asked did they mean the Asus laptop or the Mac Book... that threw him and he realised I wasn't going along with his script and hung up.

Judging by the tone of his/her post, I suspect the poster you're responding to is well aware of that:
