My uncle got caught out. Back in 2015 when TalkTalk got hacked and thousands of customers details were stolen. Someone called him up saying they were from TalkTalk and given the data breach just needed to check his account was ok.
It was an hour in, apps installed, logged onto his bank account and only when they asked him to transfer money to an account abroad (to check that it was really him!!!) Did he decide to hang up and call me.
When I did tech support I had the following convo with one of the traders of a investment firm we used to support:
Monday Morning:
Trader: Hey so I had Microsoft call me up yesterday
Me: Errr.....what....
Trader: Yeah I thought it weird on a sunday but they said they found something on my machine which is causing an issue
Me:...Microsoft.....the billion pound company....called you.....on a sunday.....because of however millions of windows machines out there in the world, they found yours with a problem....?
Trader: Oh tulip....
