Looks like they're still trying their luck. Apparently, my BT internet got hacked or something. Yeah, like I’m gonna believe that! Absolute rubbish.

Got a call from a guy going by ‘Ryan’ claiming to be from BT, warning me about some serious internet security issue. I told him straight that I don’t even have a BT account, so he must’ve dialled the wrong person. Feels like the usual trick where they try to sneak into your computer pretending to be legit. Ended up blocking the number.

I received a call from a certain phone number purporting to be the BT security team, informing me that my internet connection had been compromised by foreign hackers. To verify their authenticity, I requested the representative to provide our BT account number for me to check. However, he seemed evasive and mentioned that he was not part of the billing department, hence didn't have access to that information. He insisted that I take immediate action within the next 30 minutes, persistently pressuring me. Realizing it was a scam, I ended the call. It was apparent from the caller's Indian accent that something was not right about the situation.

Some bloke said he was from BT's internet team, telling me there'd been loads of foreign attacks on my connection. I told him I was aware, said it was just scammers constantly ringing me up. He kept insisting it wasn’t a scam then asked me to get my husband, but then left the phone off the hook and rang off himself. I've gone and blocked that number now.

I received my third call from this specific number today. It was a male caller who asked for me by name and claimed to be calling from BT. He said they had detected a hacker attempting to access my phone line. However, when I began questioning him about how he obtained this information, he abruptly ended the call. I found this suspicious, especially considering that I have Call Protect activated and have already blocked all international numbers. This call should not have been able to go through in the first place.

This number 0026042017 has been ringing me non-stop for weeks now. At first I tried picking up, but it was just silence on the other end before they hung up. It’s really irritating, especially when I’m trying to get on with stuff at home. Now I just let it ring out and leave a voicemail if they want, I’m done answering.

Today was just another repetition of the same experience. It seemed somewhat believable for a short period, but it quickly crumbled under scrutiny. I expressed my frustration, telling him that he was simply wasting my time. Surprisingly, he suggested calling me back, and unfortunately, I have an awful inclination that he might actually follow through with it.

I recently received a phone call from BT. They were quite persistent, to say the least. Normally, I would just end the call, but this time I decided to give the person on the other end a piece of my mind. I told them how we work hard for our money and that scammers like them who try to steal from honest, hardworking people should feel ashamed of themselves. The person asked me to calm down and listen so they could fix my problem, but I had no trouble fixing it myself - I simply hung up!

What a complete and utter scam! The individual who introduced himself as Derek Thomas had this overly deliberate way of speaking. He claimed to represent BT and warned me about some dubious foreign activity on my router. Funnily enough, it seems the real dodgy activity is happening on my phone while I’m chatting with him! When I pressed him about his employer, he repeated that he was with BT. Curious as I was, I inquired about his location and he recited the address of BT’s London headquarters. Quite the coincidence, I pondered, especially since the number he called from starts with 00260 from Zambia. At that point, I chose to disconnect the call, only for him to ring me back immediately - what a cheeky git!

Earlier today, I received a call from an international number. The woman on the line claimed to be from BT and informed me about some illegal activity on our internet connection. She indicated that this was the reason for the recent increase in our data usage. Although she didn't explicitly state that our computer was infected, she offered her assistance in resolving the issue. To catch her off guard, I mentioned that our line is connected to SamKnows, as a result of the official Ofcom broadband speed monitoring conducted several years ago. I explained that regular tests are performed to measure download/upload speeds, which is entirely true. These tests could account for any additional bandwidth usage. Furthermore, I mentioned that our Internet Service Provider (ISP) blocks illegal connections, which is also accurate. Consequently, continuing the call seemed pointless, prompting me to terminate the conversation by hanging up.

I find the aforementioned information to be quite reassuring. I received a call earlier today from that particular number, and as soon as the person on the line claimed to be from BT Security, I promptly informed them that their statements were nonsensical. Furthermore, I made it clear that I would be reporting their criminal actions.

BEWARE OF SCAM: Recently, I received a call from a person named Derek Thomas. He spoke in a slow and clear manner, claiming to be an employee of BT. According to Derek, there was allegedly suspicious foreign activity detected on my router (ironically, it was my phone engaging in the dubious conversation with him). I questioned him about his affiliation, and he insisted that he worked for BT. Curious about his location, Derek proceeded to recite the address of BT's head office in London. However, this struck me as peculiar because the number displayed on my phone was from Zambia (00260). Realizing it was a scam, I promptly ended the call. To my annoyance, he immediately attempted to call me again. What an unpleasant individual!

Got a call from someone claiming to be from BT’s communications centre, said there were hackers from abroad messing with my internet. The guy, who called himself Shaun and had a thick Indian accent, told me I had some sort of personal security number - 888dca or something like that. As soon as I ended the call, he kept ringing me back like three times from 0026042017. Proper fishy if you ask me.

Got a call from some bloke who said his name was James Dawney, sounded like one of those dodgy 888dca scams, and he didn’t give up easy. He showed a callback number as 18005906900, but the actual number he rang me from was 0026042017. The guy was going on about hackers trying to mess with my internet and said they’d shut it down in 45 minutes if I didn’t sort it. Total scam, just trying to scare you. Watch out for this one!

Got this call from an Indian call centre pretending to be from some internet security company. They said there was dodgy stuff happening on my internet and offered to sort it out. Said they had some ID for my system or something. Classic 888 DCA scam like others have said. I played along for ages just to waste their time and hopefully save others from the same. When I finally hung up, they rang straight back, sounded really shocked and a bit offended. I told the guy I’m an engineer and he was talking nonsense, then ended the call.

Received a phone call earlier today at twelve o'clock (21/09/17), similar to previous comments, wherein someone spoke with an Indian accent. They identified themselves as being from BT and expressed concerns about a security problem with my IP address. In order to gather more information, I pretended to cooperate for some time. However, as soon as I voiced my disbelief regarding his affiliation with BT, he abruptly ended the call. Sadly, this incident represents yet another fraudulent scheme...
