Cyber crime and phone scams are now the biggest issue (and increasing) around, it is also becoming very , very sophisticated so don't get caught out , if you think you have report it to the crime agency , don't be embarrassed these people will con anyone.
Warwickshire police are linked up with the national cyber crime network and are working hard to combat it.

Don't get caught out , on the increase is that you get a call telling you your internet is going to be cut off , this usually comes just after you have logged on, ignore it and DO NOT press any call back buttons as you may be requested.
If you are concerned leave it at least half an hour the phone your provider or phone them on a different line (mobile for example) 
The broadband companies are aware of this scam , TPS (telephone preference service) may also not be able to do anything as in spite of the number you may see the calls often come from outside of the UK, better to block them if you can or even better ignore them (I know its annoying) but 
DONT GET CAUGHT and REPORT IT IF YOU DO.
