Automated call from "BT technical support" with US voice telling me my internet connection would be closed down in 1 hour due to viruses. This is surprising as I am with Virginmedia. I pressed '1' to be put through to BT technical support. I managed to waste 30 minutes of his time thanks to Microsoft as the latest monthly updates for Windows 7 were downloaded and installed. He was quite happy to wait. He then made me perform the usual party tricks to show the "non-existent" viruses on my PC. He then wanted me to open a website and download some software which I refused to do as I said I was concerned about "scammers". He put me through to a "supervisor" who asked me to do the same. I asked for evidence as to who they were at which point he terminated the call. The area code (01687) is Mallaig in the Highlands of Scotland rapidly establishing itself as the Technical support Glen of Scotland.
