Beware, these calls often masquerade as legitimate tech support from providers such as TalkTalk or BT, using shaky accents and urgent language to pressure you into granting remote access or revealing personal details. The pattern includes early‑morning outreach, repeated attempts after a challenge, and threats about alleged virus infections or unauthorised internet usage. Never share passwords or allow unknown software to install, and always verify the caller by contacting the official service directly via a known number. If the call feels off, hang up and report it to your phone provider’s spam‑blocking service. Staying sceptical and keeping your devices secured will reduce exposure to these scams.
