    Take Notice!


    Strange one this....received a phone call purportedly from my ISP, the person on the other end of the line stating they were having problems at their end which showed there was a fault with my ISP supplied router.
    I checked immediately my up and downloads speeds...all working perfectly.
    He suggested that a change was needed in my router settings.
    After I told him I was not a novice, built my own computers and was an M$ insider....he hung up.....not heard of this method of infiltration before.

    Another scam. Best technique is to tell them you are using Linux or whatever.
