I received a call today too. A man from BT this time. During our call, I suggested Xmas was a dreadful time of year for him to prey on vulnerable people. He then started singing Jingle Bells! Definite confirmation that it was a scam!

I've just received a similar call from 01552 2262168, telling me there's been a breach and someone has accessed my broadband and information. He knew my first name and asked me to restart my router, which I did before I got suspicious. Very convincing. I've checked with Talk Talk and they've confirmed it's a scam.

If you receive a phone call from a company purporting to be Talk Talk, asking you to help them resolve a local broadband issue by downloading software, please be aware that this is a scam and hangup. Posting this alert as I have just received such a call.
