From about 09:30 to 14:20 GMT, this number called me six times. The first couple of calls had a bloke on the line, then a lady on the third ring, and the last three times, when I answered shouting "YES, WHAT DO YOU WANT", they just hung up. How do you put an end to this? I’m not interested at all. I’ve reported it to the police before, but was told since the call probably came from abroad, there’s little they can do. Did they bother to check? No idea, feels like they just brushed me off. Lucky I’m still alert enough to deal with it, but I imagine some folks might not be so fortunate.

Got a call earlier claiming to be from BT. They told me my broadband had been hacked. I asked for my account number to be sure it was really BT, but they mumbled something I didn't catch and then just hung up. Bit suspicious if you ask me.

This number called me twice. Missed the initial call but picked up on the second. A man claimed to be with BT and warned me about a security threat, saying I had to let him onto my computer. I told him I'd ring back later. Then the guy said I’d have to give him the CLIS security code from my PC but suggested it’d be simpler if he guided me over the phone and that he’d call back. I ended the call.

Got called like three times by some Indian call centre. The connection was rubbish, barely heard a word. On the third call, some “supervisor” got on to walk me through my keyboard or something. They wanted me to type stuff in. Thought it might be a laugh at first, but quickly got annoyed. Then she started shouting at me, saying it wouldn’t cost anything and asked why I was being so dodgy. Then just abruptly ended the call!!!

I've been getting calls every morning around 8 or 9 for days now. Looks like one of those dodgy 'BT Tech Support' scams, which honestly make up most of the annoying calls I get these days. I never answer, but I have on other phones before and told them off, so I suppose they think my number’s still active even though it’s unlisted. These days, I only bother answering the landline if it’s a number I know or from nearby.

I got a call like this not long ago and I ended up reporting it to BT’s security team. They gave me a case number and told me I should also get in touch with the Fraud Action Line to let them know as well.

I get calls from these lot on a daily basis, and honestly, they’ve got nothing to do with BT, so don’t fall for it. If you’ve got some time to waste, try messing with them like I did today - the woman on the phone got proper annoyed and hung up on me! Honestly, these scammers thrive on frightening vulnerable folks. If BT were truly contacting you, they’d send an email, not ring you up. Seriously, DO NOT give out any of your personal details to these callers. It’s about time someone put a stop to this nonsense.

Got a call from someone claiming to be "Teresa" from BT today, spouting the same old rubbish. Since these calls have become a bit of a regular thing, we’ve started messing with them by calling their bluff and having a laugh. Teresa didn’t take it well at all - she got really aggressive, even threatened to hack into my account and tried to say if I paid her money, she’d leave me alone. Apparently, £200 is pocket change for someone like me, according to her! Seriously, this idiot should just get a proper job. If they keep ringing, I’m definitely gonna keep winding them up.

Got a call from a bloke named Kevin (pretty sure that wasn't his actual name) claiming he was ringing from BT, saying my computer had been hit by some kind of malware attack. He wanted to know if I was near my computer. I told him I wasn't and called him out straight away, saying he was a scammer and definitely not from BT. He denied it, but I told him I knew exactly what he was up to since I'd heard about these scams before. Then out of nowhere, he started swearing at me, calling me names. Charming, right? Before I could say anything back, he hung up. Total wimp!

I got a call from a young Asian lady, sounded quite unsure, saying she was from BT. I just replied with a quick "Yeah, right" and hung up straight away. I never bother chatting with them - you can't be too careful, might be them trying to gather info or something.

this number has been haunting me with a call every single day this week, each time with a different 'name'. each caller insists they're from BT's tech team, going through the same rehearsed spiel way too fast. i usually jump in mid-sentence, telling them straight up, both for their sake and mine, that they're not really from BT and my broadband is fine. then i just end the call sharpish! i make sure to speak quickly and firmly so they can’t get a word in or hang up first.

Got a call from some Asian scammers pulling the classic BT scam again. What a load of rubbish!

You can tell it's dodgy right off, the phone line sounds terrible and they claim to be from BT, which is obviously rubbish lol. I usually let the call drag on to annoy them a bit and pass the time, makes it kinda entertaining.

Got a call from a woman who sounded Indian with a really deep voice. I asked her why I never got any notice about my broadband installation, but she just cut me off and ended the call.

I got a call from someone claiming to be from BT’s tech team, sounded like a woman with an Indian accent and you could hear loads of background noise like a call centre. Definitely felt like a scam to me.

Just got a call from some lot saying they were from BT. I knew right away something was off since they never asked for any BT account info. Pretty obvious scam if you ask me.

Got a call earlier from someone who said they were from BT, warning me about issues with my broadband. The young Indian woman on the phone was clearly making it up. Told her I’d be reporting it to the police and she just cut me off straight away.

Had a call from someone with an Aussie accent pretending to be from BT. They wanted me to get onto my computer and share personal info. Total red flag! Never give out your private details over the phone or online to anyone like that. BT has warned about these scams before. Stay safe out there, people! Just end the call straight away!

So these lot called me yesterday and today, claiming to be from BT and threatening to cut off my internet unless I followed their instructions. I don’t usually swear but ended up telling them to buzz off before slamming the phone down.

Got a call from someone claiming to be BT Tech Support. I asked them to prove who they were, and while they knew my BT account number, they didn’t know my address. When I kept probing about my name and which BT area I was in, the person got rude, told me to shove off, and ended the call. Be careful and never let anyone install software on your computer - they’re just trying to scam you!

I called that number back and there was just complete silence on the other end, really odd!

Got a call from a woman speaking with an Indian accent saying she was from BT. I asked her what she intended to do, and after a long silence, she just said “nothing” and then hung up. I’ve now blocked the number.

Got another call from someone saying they were with BT's security team, saying my computer router had an issue. Problem is, there’s no router connected at this number at all! I told them they must have the wrong place - this is actually the Warwickshire police station, not Hertfordshire. Still, they tried to convince me there was a fault and asked to check the line. I wasn’t having any of it. The call ended with a sharp "click" on their end.

Someone rang saying they were BT Tech Support, saying there was strange activity on my account and they needed to run some checks on my computer. I cut them off and told them I'd ring BT directly before ending the call. Pretty clear it was just a scam from the start.
