Got a call claiming my internet was in trouble and they needed to access my computer remotely to sort it out - yeah, no way that was gonna happen. They said the number’s blocked now, but I’m not holding my breath, we’ll see if that’s true.

Been getting calls from this lot in India claiming to be from my internet provider. They try and get you to let them have remote access to your PC - don’t fall for it, seriously. One of them accidentally blurted out their WAN IP: 183.82.112.180, which I think went right over their head because they clearly didn’t get how IPs worked. They kept using different phone numbers today when they called.

Didn’t even get to pick up, just hung up on me. Probably just a scam, so I've blocked the number now.

Got one of those quiet callers again, just like always. As soon as I answer, they just disconnect. So dull!

Got a call claiming my BT broadband would be cut off soon. Total scam, just hang up and don’t bother with these muppets!

Got a call from a woman with an Indian accent pretending to be from BT Openreach. She told me someone was trying to get into my internet, which sounded odd since BT Openreach just deal with phone line installs and upkeep, not internet services. Definitely felt like a scam to me.

Got a call warning that our internet was about to get cut off in 5 minutes and we had to rush over to the computer! I went along with it, but seriously, why do these annoying calls keep happening? Surely GDPR should have sorted them out by now.
