INTERNET PROVIDER SCAMS: LIVE DATA
The broadband or internet scam has been around for a while now. Previously, the call would be from a recorded message asking you to press a button to speak to one of their agents as they have detected some issues with your internet connection.
More recently, the scammers have been calling their targets directly claiming to be from your broadband provider. They will tell you that there is an issue with your connection and you need to download software onto your PC or phone. This is an attempt to gain access to your device.
After this is done, they will have full control of your device and they will be able to log in to your online banking, steal your personal details, or ask you to pay a ransom to have a virus removed.
Another method the scammers use will be to inform you that your internet will be cut off due to required maintenance. This will then lead to asking you for personal or banking details.
