Had 2 calls from numbers 00859370321 & 08683945577 in the last hour saying they have been trying to contact me regarding suspicious activity with my Internet & will disconnect it in the next 24 hours so press 1 to speak to them which I havent done. I havent had any missed calls from these numbers & I am with Virgin. Could this be a scam??

Ok thanks, I will block the numbers.
Yes it will be. I've been routinely blocking such numbers recently & seem to be getting fewer calls. (I got fed up of getting through to a person & hurling abuse at them!)
Of course it's a scam and a very common one at that. Don't press anything, hang up and block that number if possible.
Best way have you got call barring with Virgin?
Or are you getting them on your mobile?

Thanks everyone.
No internet providers threaten to cut off in 24 hours.

That wording is sure sign of a scam.
Yes, been going for quite a while.
We get such calls 3 or 4 times a week.
Yes. I’ve had the same call.
If there was suspicious activity, what this involves I do not know, they wouldn't bother letting you know, they would shut you down anyway!!!
Absolute scam. Ignore.
have had similar, disembodied voice tells me my internet is about to be cut off, i just hang up.
i get all sorts of scam emails calls, banks that i have no accounts with
tax returns, internet cutoffs, drivers license about to expire, paypal irregularity, all fakes.
