I got a call from a woman with an Indian accent and loads of background chatter like from a call centre. She said she was from Ofcom telecom and already knew my name. I just ended the call straight away.

This woman with an Indian accent called, claiming her company could help me cut costs on my mobile and landline. I told her I wasn't interested and she just ended the call without saying a single thing. Proper rude.

We got calls from this number practically non stop throughout the whole day, I lost count after about 30. I even tried whistling to see if it would stop them, but no luck!

Got a call from someone with an Asian accent who kept messing up what he was saying, even though you could hear someone else telling him what to say. He claimed he was from a telecom firm. I just ended the call straight away.

I received a rather curious phone call from a chap who claimed to be representing BT Ofcom. He had my name and address at his fingertips, which struck me as rather unsettling. The fellow promised a £15.99 reduction on my monthly bill. However, when he inquired about the exact amount of my bill and the payment method, I found it rather peculiar. I pointed out that if he truly worked for BT, he ought to be well-informed on such details. This led him to insist he was affiliated with Open Reach instead. Quite frankly, I decided it was best not to engage further with him, especially as he was quite insistent. So, I chose to end the conversation.

I got a call from someone with an Asian accent who said they were Michael from Upton. He sounded like he was stumbling over his words, mumbled a bit, then just cut the call off.

An individual of Asian descent claimed to be calling from BT, stating there was an issue with our internet service. My wife answered the phone and quipped, “I take it you’re going to instruct me to turn it on so you can sort it out?” He confirmed with a yes. In response, she told him to bugger off! He promptly ended the call.

A couple of weeks back, I received a rather puzzling call from a woman who had a thick accent - she sounded Asian. She claimed to represent BT or Ofcom and started off on a long-winded monologue about a supposed issue with our broadband, or perhaps she was touting some cut-rate calling plans in comparison to BT. I simply informed her that I wasn’t keen on what she was selling. After a bit of a sigh, she seemed to concede and said, “Fine then.” Clearly, she wasn't having the best of days! Just yesterday, the same number rang again, but they hung up as soon as the answering machine kicked in.

Beware, it’s just another trick trying to get you to let them control your computer remotely.

Got a call from somewhere in the USA claiming there were issues with my BT internet. Since I hadn’t noticed any problems with my connection, I just ended the call straight away.

this person kept ringing and I had to ask like three times who was on the phone. finally she said she was michelle from bt tech (her accent sounded asian). she said there were loads of errors with our internet and if we didn’t sort it out they’d block our connection. she wanted me to get on the computer. i told her i didn’t have one at home. then she asked if I had a laptop. i said no ’cause my husband had taken it to work. then she said she’d ring again later.

They kept ringing back with all sorts of excuses, just trying to get us to chat before hanging up on us.

I've been ignoring my calls recently, and this number popped up from the US, but they didn’t bother leaving any voicemail or message.

I noticed they'd rung me as per my call log. Popped over to this site and it was the usual shenanigans. Had I been available, I would’ve considered one of six delightful options: (1) I could’ve said, "Ah yes, she's home. Just a tick, I’ll fetch her," before leaving them dangling on the line-just to prolong their agony. (2) I might've queried, "Did your folks instil any sense of honesty in you?" followed up with, "Why not pursue something respectable like gardening instead, you cheeky blighter?" (3) I could’ve played the long game, letting them believe they had access to my computer while they wasted their own minutes. (4) Perhaps I’d inform them they’d just crashed my father’s memorial service. (5) I could’ve gone on a rant about their intelligence, ending with a request to elevate their cranium to a more appropriate altitude. (6) Or, if my patience was truly wearing thin, I’d simply tell them to bugger off without hesitation.

They just went quiet when i picked up, and as soon as i said hello, they ended the call.

From what I gather on Wikipedia, the 942 area code relates to the Greater Toronto Area in Ontario. It has been reserved as an additional code to complement the existing 416 code, although there doesn’t seem to be a specific timeline for when this will actually take effect.

Just had a right dodgy call! The bloke had a thick accent, claiming he was from BT - but guess what? My broadband isn’t even with them! He went on about issues with my line or some such nonsense. I stopped him in his tracks, told him he was spouting utter rubbish, and hung up. What a nuisance!

It appears that this gentleman hails from abroad and might be associated with some sort of cybercriminal faction.

Today, I received a rather unsettling call from someone with a foreign accent claiming to represent BT. This person insisted that there was an issue with my broadband that had supposedly been flagged on their server and stated that my connection was compromised. I was quite sceptical and expressed my doubts, to which she responded with a rather alarming warning: if I didn’t cooperate and let her fix the problem, my broadband would be blacklisted, leaving me without internet access. I firmly told her to carry on with whatever she intended and promptly ended the call.
