[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 636924, member: 175144"] And it is probably not only restricted to BT users either [I]The scammers call up their victim and warn them that their account is in arrears. They then ask for card or bank details in order to settle the account. If the person refuses or asks for proof, the fraudsters then offer to prove who they are by disconnecting the phone line then and there. Once the victim puts the phone down, the scammer stays connected to their line, thus giving the impression that the customer's line no longer works.
