woolyhead   15 #1 Posted February 27, 2019 I have an annoying phone call every day at the same time and it says "we have your IP address. Press 1 to speak to engineer to stop these calls." I don't press 1 or speak but could there be any benefit in changing my IP address? If so, how can I do so?

Ghozer   112 #3 Posted February 27, 2019 Generally, your IP address will change each time your modem/router re-connects to the internet.... some re-cycle every couple of days, some remain for months until the next time you're power is off etc.... as said above, just ignore the call, it'll be a scam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cyclone   10 #7 Posted February 28, 2019 Why would you believe what some random scam phone call says anyway?  You're default position should be to assume that they're lying through their teeth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yes, you're right Cyclone. But my wife answers the phone sometimes so I've told her about this. Should be ok now. And I have seen that my IP changes, too, Ghozer.
