Why would they do that?
e.g. If they saw thousands of failed logins coming from a IP addr, or subnet, they might block it for 24 hours.
Or follow the nice instructions from that nice cold calling Microsoft Indian guy.
They are also cold calling on behalf of BT. I recently reported a BT fault via their on-line reporting service and a day later picked up a call by some Indian gentleman pretending to be from BT. He sounded plausible until "we have detected a foreign IP address on your network which we need to remove"!
