Spark scam again.

Julie from Feilding

Just had a call from "Spark Security" saying someone was using my ID and internet to do some "illegal stuff" on my computer. I told the foreign accented man to just disconnect my internet cos I don't use it that much, so then he had to change tack and say it was my identity they were using to do "bad stuff". At this point I decided we had chatted long enough, suggested he disconnect my internet again and terminated our call. Had all the hallmarks of a scam with the pause between me answering and him speaking and the foreign accent.
