Received a telephone Call Friday morning from a male with a strong Asian Accent claiming to be a VirginMedia Engineer and that they had been monitoring my Internet connection for the past two weeks. It was slow and susceptible to disconnections, he said my system was infected with a virus and he was going to help me solve them.
Soon sent him packing.
Here are two posts on the VirginMedia User Forums regarding this scam.

This poor chap fell for the scam!
