Some bloke called David pretending to be from BT rang me, saying there was a problem with my broadband. He was trying to get me to check my computer, probably to make up some fault. I just ended the call straight away.

0019662439788 Got a call with a robotic woman voice saying it was Amazon and that a purchase in dollars was made on my account. She told me to press a key if I wanted to cancel the order and speak to someone. I don’t even have an Amazon account, so obviously just another scam from those Asian callers.

Loads of calls from different 00 numbers here, never picked up any and not a single message left. Our elderly neighbour is getting hounded as well. She did answer one time and was told her broadband was about to be disconnected, but she wasn't having any of it.

This morning, I got a ring from a number I didn’t recognise: 0019605972668. I didn’t pick up, but I noted down the number anyway. Since yesterday, I’ve seen about three other unknown numbers pop up, and one looked like it was from Cardiff.

Had a ring from a number with this code earlier today. We ignored it and it went to voicemail, but no one left a message. Then last Saturday, there were like nine calls from an "International" number within just a few hours. We didn’t pick up any of them. Feels like they've got some kind of list, because there's no way they're just guessing numbers like that.

They rang about 5 or 6 times yesterday, I picked up twice but no one was there and then someone just hung up. They’ve called 3 times this morning too but I just ignored it.

Got a bloke with an Asian accent saying he's from BT. He went on about how my computer’s been grabbing viruses lately. I told him that’s odd since I haven’t even switched it on for a good 3 months. He chuckled and said, “So you don’t use a laptop, maybe an iPhone then?” I told him to just send me something in the post if it’s such a big deal. Yeah, total scam for sure!

001960015447 called me, some guy with an asian accent claiming to be from BT tech support. He said there was an issue with my router and told me to switch on my computer. I said I don't actually have a computer at home, then he just hung up. Yesterday, the number 001942385894 rang with the exact same spiel. My missus said she'd phone BT herself to check for any problems. They ended up hanging up too.

Supposed to be from BT. The number was 001967921530, an Asian bloke who somehow had my brother's account number but wouldn't verify my name or address. Proper dodgy scam.
