Just to let folks be aware the scammers are at it again. Just had a call from a very Indian "Alex" at the Virgin Media Technical Department saying my connection has been compromised and was I sitting in front of my PC now.

When I said that I also worked for Virgin Media and was interested to see which department he was in the answer was just a repeat of Virgin Media Technical Department.

I'm guessing most on here will be aware and not give out details over the phone to cold callers.

Don't let them remote your PC.
Don't give them any details including credit cards, userid/password
Don't let them remote to your router.

You could have fun with them maybe but best just ring off.
