My good lady used to perform all the on-line household administrative tasks even down to ordering car spares for our cars for me, thus she was ever deleting loads of nuisance advertising and all else filling up her in box whereas by comparison I hardly received any in mine..... Even since I had to take on the full range of admin I was none too bothered by junk mail... Until i had suffered a remote cable misconnection in services supplied by my isp... Yeah well even though I determined the fault was unlikely to be on mt property I had to endure all the usual steps in their procedure requiring two separate engineer visits, one to check out the router and connections, and later a telephone engineer for the local network, who found a inadvertent recent connection in digital interface panel a few streets away...!!!
During all these numerous phone calls it was required at each stage to supply ALL the usual details at every call/email...... and since then I now seem to be targeted by scams in numbers my good lady once was, which causes me to wonder if somewhere along the way it might be possible that folk operating in call centres for one`s ISP might gather and pass on personal details.... Or am I just becoming more of a conspiracy theorist than I may already be.... ?
Heinz no matter how worldly wise we may think ourselves to be.... I fear advancing years makes some of us us ever more vulnerable to rapidly changing technology, and as such we seem to be an ideal target for scammers...
