    This scam is STILL doing the rounds


    Hi there
    I can't believe this but people are still getting scammed by this old perennial scam.

    Unsolicited phone call says something like this "Due to illegal activity your ISP will disconnect your Internet in the next 48 hours --please press XX ...... etc etc"

    Once you've pressed XX or whatever -- you've given away "The keys to the kingdom".

    If you WERE doing illegal detectable activities the ISP would contact you directly -- either by email or by "Snail Mail" or both and at least have details of your account -- or if they did phone it would be a direct verifiable call from the ISP and not an unsolicited unidentified caller one.

    I'm still amazed how so many people get scammed by these really obvious ones-- remember "The price of Education might be expensive -- but the price of ignorance is Astronomical"

    Please guys here don't get scammed -- whatever the scam is and if you hear of other ones doing the rounds do post details.

    Cheers
    jimbo

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
