Phone Scams

Squirrel!
My phone just rang so I answer and it is some guy on a very poor phone line claiming to be from BT (British Telecom) and wanted to speak to me, I thought this was odd as BT have an automated machine phone you if there is a problem with your account, anyway this man claiming to be from BT asks me if I have internet? Well, that was the first alarm bell as BT is my provider. Anyway I say yes then he asks me who my provider is, second alarm bell right there, if he was genuinely a BT rep he would have known that A: The number he dialed was a BT number and B: that I have an account with them for phone and broadband.
Be careful peeps, these can get you anytime.
