Now I love this type of call and did my usual wind up procedure, after telling her I was a computer programmer for 20 years they decided to hang up on me.

This is just a warning to others as she wanted me to log on to my pc and guide me through the fix.

Do not do this. Not sure what the scam is but as she clearly mentioned Accrington others may get this call.
Thank you Mr D, great advise to all !!!
