#Scam number 0********** the person is saying he's from Virgin Media #VirginMedia saying you have an unsecured Wi-Fi, this is causing a data breach and your personal information is vulnerable.

If you receive phone calls from a suspected scammer, just hang up. To make things more secure, call your Internet service provider to inquire about this call. The real Virgin Media representative should know this information.

Updates on this situation. Spammers are now sending phishing emails when you click on them to put them in your junk mail or unsubscribe the email sends a command (VIRUS) to your PC that corrupts pieces of software potentially creating privacy breaches.

You then receive a phone call from the scammer stating they are from a particular Internet service provider saying you have a data breach on your PC/Wi-Fi.

This is sometimes undetected with your antivirus software
