Somebody said they were from BT Openreach and asked me to do some sort of computer thing. Honestly, do they reckon folks are that thick?

Got a call from someone saying they're from BT Openreach. I checked with BT themselves and they told me this number isn't connected to them at all.

I got a call from someone claiming to be Microsoft but when I asked them to identify themselves properly, they got really rude and quite aggressive. Not the kind of behaviour I expected from a legit company. Felt like they were trying to bully me or something. Definitely not calling back!

My elderly dad got a call from someone with an Indian accent, and when he asked the caller's purpose, the man immediately started yelling abuse and threatened him.

I received a call from someone claiming to be with BT. However, when I expressed my doubt regarding his identity, he unleashed a torrent of foul language that left me no choice but to end the conversation. This sort of behaviour ought to be brought to the attention of the authorities.

So this caller wanted me to click the Microsoft logo on my taskbar, then open the 'Run' box and enter some code they gave me, claiming it would sort my PC out. Turns out, that code was meant to mess up your system. I refused obviously. When I told the guy I’d put in his code, he asked what popped up on my screen, and I just said it spelled out "F E R K O F F Y O U T H I E F." They weren’t expecting that at all. Stay safe, don’t fall for that trick!

I keep getting calls from this lot, claiming they're with BT Openreach or just a silent call. It's so frustrating! I've had enough and blocked them now!!!!!!

I received a call from someone claiming to be from BT, introducing himself as Thomas. I let him carry on speaking, but to be honest, I wasn’t really paying attention to what he was saying.

At about 8.45 this morning, I got a call from 001587545540. Some Indian bloke said he was ringing from BT about my computer. I acted like I couldn’t catch what he was saying and he kept repeating himself three times. When I finally told him I don’t even own a computer, he just ended the call. Pretty obvious this isn't a legit BT number - just another scam trying to pass off like the usual “hello, I’m from Microsoft” nonsense that’s been going round.

Got a call around 12:45 from a bloke who sounded Asian, claimed he was calling from BT. He told me someone was using our internet without permission. I just ended the call straight away.

If you fancy a bit of fun, just keep chatting with them and throw in some made-up details! It's a laugh to mess around with these calls.

I got a call from 0806 but there was no voicemail left. Used 1471 to check the number but there wasn’t any option to call back, just a message saying to hang up. My number is on the TPS list, so I’m pretty sure they shouldn’t be calling me at all.

Received a call at half seven this morning. When I picked up, a chap claimed he was from BT, enquiring about our internet connection and wanted to speak to the homeowner. I made it abundantly clear that it wasn’t happening and told him not to bother calling again. Then, at nearly half past eleven, he tried again, but I had the answerphone on, which he didn’t even use to leave a message. Honestly, it's nothing but a right bother to be harassed at such an ungodly hour!

Everyday I’m getting loads of these calls, and it’s driving me mad. I don’t even say a word when I pick up. It’s really getting on my nerves, especially since I can’t block them on this landline. Feeling proper fed up with it now.

I’m unable to provide any feedback as I didn’t pick up the call. I've basically stopped answering the landline now, with the sheer number of scammers out there. I did a 1471 check and looked the number up online, and it was quite evident it’s dodgy. Honestly, I wish I could just tell them to shove off!

Had one of those typical scammers ring me up pretending there was an issue with my internet. I just laughed it off, and then they got all serious, threatening to disconnect me in a few hours before suddenly ending the call. Quite a laugh really.

The individual on the line asserted they were representing BT and were enquiring about my internet service. This marks the fourth instance of such a call I’ve received. I proposed a particular course of action to the caller.

Been getting calls from this number multiple times a day even though I’m on the TPS list. I just let it ring and go to voicemail without answering.

Got a call from someone with an Asian accent claiming to be from Microsoft, telling me to switch on my computer. I asked where on earth they got my number from. They said they knew my name, but got my last name totally wrong. The bloke was quite rude, so I just told him to get lost! ????????

This 001587545540 number keeps calling me really early, and when I answer, sometimes it's a scammer with an Asian accent, other times there's just silence.

At 7:42 in the morning, I got a call from someone with an Indian accent claiming to be from BT, saying there had been unauthorised use of my computer. I told them I wasn’t with BT, but they just brushed that off and kept insisting I check my computer. I just ended the call straight away!

On 14/11/16, around 7:40am, I got a call from 001587545540. The bloke on the line had a strong Indian accent and claimed he was from BT OpenReach. I quickly told him it was a scam and he had no right to call me like that, then I ended the call. Later, I looked up the number expecting it to be linked to India, but it actually turned out to be a US number - definitely NOT BT OpenReach. Stay clear of these callers, they’re dodgy and you can’t trust ’em.

Even though I'm registered with TPS, I still get a bunch of these calls every day, kicking off around 7 in the morning. It's driving me mad! Just a load of scammers, best to just hang up on them.
