A Halton resident has received an automated telephone call, the caller claiming they were from Virgin Media.
The caller asked the resident for their IP address, stating that their internet would be cut off if it was not provided.
This call is a scam, please hang up if you receive any such calls.
Halton Borough Council’s Executive Board Member for Trading Standards, Cllr Dave Cargill, said: ” If you or somebody you know has been caught out by a fraud please contact one of our specialist officers, Linda or Sue on 0151 511 8785 or 0151 511 8775, who are already working with people in Halton who have lost thousands of pounds to scams.”
