The Fenland Community Safety Partnership - a group of local partners and agencies working together to reduce crime, anti-social behaviour and the fear of crime - issued a warning on social media this morning (Monday) about fraudsters pretending to be from BT.
It said: “Scammers are calling Fenland residents informing them their BT internet is frozen and to choose option 1. BT advise BT Openreach service is not customer facing and will never contact customers.”
