Be careful:
A caller alleged he was from BT and wanted to change my IP address. When questioned he was very abusive and hung up. I have alerted Police Fraud team, as I managed to get the phone number used, on my call back. By that time' the number was unobtainable. Any ideas on what the scammer could do with my IP address?
