Got a call super early in the morning, thought it might be an emergency with family but nope, just a scam. Definitely blocking that number now!!

This bloke said he was from the TPS, but I didn’t hang around to find out what he was really after. Pretty clear he wasn’t linked to TPS at all.

Got a call from someone claiming to be ‘Patrick’ from the Call Preference Service, saying they could sign us up to stop nuisance calls. When I said no thanks and asked him not to ring again, he said he was too busy to call back anyway. If that’s true, why even bother ringing in the first place? And the whole ‘Patrick’ thing felt fishy - their names are usually made up and they stumble over them anyway. He wasn’t outright rude, but these calls are such a pain no matter what.

On the morning of 09.02.19, this number 0018188375553 popped up on my phone, totally unknown to me. I let the voicemail pick it up to see if anyone’d leave a message, but after silence, they just hung up. Pretty sure it was another scam, with a dodgy fake caller ID again. Honestly, the authorities really need to step in and stop these con artists from using fake caller displays so they can’t be tracked or blocked. It’s getting ridiculous! 😡😡😡

This number called me once more, and when I answered, all I got was a woman saying just “Goodbye” and then nothing. They’ve contacted me previously pretending to be from BT or Windows support. Usually, there's someone on the line, so I don’t hesitate to tell them off!

Keep getting these calls from someone claiming to be Michael at BT, but their accent is all wrong. Every week they ring from different numbers, usually two or three, trying to scam us with the same nonsense. We’re just adding more and more numbers to our phone block list and I’m not sure it’ll ever be enough.

Just got a call a few minutes back from a call centre. They claimed to be from the Telephone Preference Service checking if my name was on their list. I told them I was indeed on it. Then he says, "Even so, you keep getting these annoying calls." I replied, "Yeah, like this one right now," and I ended the call straight away.

7.10 in the morning and my phone goes off, jolting me awake. I hurried to pick up thinking it might be someone from my family needing help. These scam calls are such a pain, but when they stir up this kind of worry it's just too much. Funny thing is, the person on the other end just stayed quiet. What am I supposed to do in that situation? It's not just annoying, it could even be really dangerous. Could even be deadly.

Answered the call this morning at about 08:34 and all I could hear was loads of noise like from a busy call centre. I stayed quiet but then the other end just cut off. Strange!

Got called by these muppets again this week, second time already. The bloke on the line couldn’t even say my name properly, kept going “is that… is that…” then just went quiet. I told him to sort his life out and find a proper job coz clearly, he’s rubbish at this one.

This number, +18188375553, rang my mum like 7 times before 8 in the morning - absolute pain. I’ve had to arrange for her phone to be on "Do Not Disturb" all day, every day, only letting calls from a select VIP list come through. It costs around £3 a month, but totally worth it as all these scammy calls get blocked. Up till now, she’s missed out on at least 635 of these annoying calls that went straight to voicemail!

Since the start of January, this number has rung me half a dozen times, and there were about as many calls from them in December too. I mostly just ignore it, but whenever I do pick up, they just end up hanging up.

This number has rung me up three times now. They claim to be from BT, ask how I’m doing, then just cut the call off. Proper irritating. I wouldn’t trust it if I were you, definitely not BT. Don’t share any details with them!

Got a text from BT saying my IP got hacked or something, and if it wasn’t me, I should ring the number they gave. Thing is, I never called, and I know if I had pressed 3 on that message it would’ve cost me money. So dodgy if you ask me.

This woman called up saying I'd held this phone number for ages and BT wanted to give me a discount. I told her I wasn’t even a BT customer. She insisted she knew I was actually with Virgin. I corrected her, but she kept guessing different providers and kept getting it wrong. In the end, she asked who I actually used, and I just chuckled and hung up on her.

Got a call from 0018188375553, some guy called Alex Russell said he was ringing from BT, trying to push a discount. He asked for my date of birth, so I said 29th Feb 1940, told him I was over 75 and could get a bigger claim! After that, he was asking for my bank card info - I just hung up straight away.

Got a call from a woman asking if she could speak to the homeowner, using his name. I told her I was his son-in-law and that he was around, then asked what the call was regarding. She just hung up right away. Definitely seemed like a scam and maybe even something dodgy. I've reported the number to Ofcom.

Got a call from a bloke with a Peter Sellers-esque Indian accent claiming my router was busted and he could sort it. Told him I didn’t even have a computer at the moment since the cops had taken it off me for watching some dodgy stuff online. I said if anyone’s poking about it’d be them, and offered to give him the police station’s number so he could chat to them himself. He just told me to “f##k off” and hung up. Not exactly top-notch customer service, if you ask me.

I just answered and there was nobody there. I’m not going to bother picking up if it rings again.

Honestly, the best thing to do is just hang up on them immediately and if the calls keep coming, report it to the police. They’ll tell you what steps to take next. I've told BT about it too, and my internet provider as well - it’s really annoying and I’ve blocked the number now. I reckon BT should be able to handle this kinda thing instead of leaving us to sort it out ourselves.

After a pause, some confused rambling from the caller. Initially, I assumed it was a mate playing pranks. The voice sounded Indian and caught me off guard since I barely let it ring once before picking up. From what I gathered, he claimed to be from BT Openreach, but the whole call felt muddled and baffling. I just said something and put the phone down.

Got a call from someone with an Asian accent claiming to be from BT about my broadband. Pretty sure it was one of those usual scams. Best to just hang up or not answer at all!

We've already gotten this call twice today. They never leave a message. Just don't answer it since we don't know anyone from that country.
