Wife just took a call by an automated machine saying we had "misused" out internet and we'd be cut off.
Presumably if you pressed [1] to proceed you'd be taken through to an operator who would relieve you of some money to make the "problem" go away.
I dont know if they're targeting PN users or if its just random.
Stay aware everyone.
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Totally random - they use auto-diallers to make many calls in succession, and some people will pick up - and hopefully put down again quickly.
I get the very odd one these days, but the displayed number is usually an obvious fake, or usually using an obscure exchange. My policy is, if I am not expecting a call, or it is an 'unknown', to let it go to voicemail - if it is important they will leave a message, if it is an auto-dialler they usually disconnect at this point.

Just random, report it to ico as an automated call and if you know the number and have call protect block the number.
