Nigel was extremely pushy and impolite, warning about blocking our computer due to scammers. I suspected he was a scammer, but it's hard to be certain.

The persistence and rudeness of the caller, who rang back multiple times, were matched only by their convincing nature, which I found particularly alarming.
