9 yearsRegarding the previous comment, what a muppet - probably talking about themselves - praising this idiot and then slapping a RED rating on it. Really shows the kind of sharp, clever person they are, doesn't it?10 yearsThis call came from a call centre pretending to be BT, telling me my internet was being hacked overnight. Problem is, I don’t even have internet linked to the number they rang. Plus, they couldn’t even confirm if it was a business or home line - it’s a business number but they said home (BT would know the real info). If you get a call like this from these scammers, you should report it to Action Fraud, which is run by the police. The more complaints they get, the better chance they’ll take action.BTAction Fraud10 yearsSome bloke rang up saying he was from BT tech support, claiming someone had hacked into my PC through my BT broadband (which I don’t even have). He wanted me to open my computer so he could "show" me. I told him he was the one trying to get in and told him to shove off, then hung up. A couple of minutes later, the same guy called back, shouting swear words at me and telling me to f. off. I ended the call again, but he phoned back once more and started saying he was banging my missus. There were a few more calls after that, but I just hung up straight away every time.BT10 yearsI changed my answerphone to say "Can't pick up live coz of loads of dumb spam calls, leave your name & number and I'll ring back." If anyone actually gets past it, I just thank them and say I'll have my local IT guy take a look at the problem. Sorted!10 yearsGot a call from some scammer pretending to be from BT, saying there’s a problem and asking me to switch on my computer so they can fix it. Yeah right, BT never ring you up like that, they sort stuff out themselves. Definitely not letting some random person onto my PC to nab my personal info!BT10 yearsGot a call from some scammers pretending to be from BT, saying there’s an issue with my computer and asking me to turn it on so they can fix it. Absolutely no way! BT wouldn’t ring me out of the blue like that, they sort things out on their side, not mine. And there’s no chance I'm letting anyone control my PC remotely - they’d just nick all my personal info!BT10 yearsI got calls over the last couple of days; first one showed up as 'Unavailable', then another from 00971971 claiming they were from BT’s 'Technical Department'. They told me there were downloads happening on my PC even though it was turned off, and they wanted remote access to sort out the ‘issue’. Since I spent 20 years in computer security, I knew right away it was a scam and didn’t bother listening any longer. Later on, a 'supervisor' rang back, accusing me of being rude and hassing his team, threatening to report me to the police. I just told him I’d be happy to see him in court - or if he preferred, I’d pay him a personal visit to return the favour! Both calls were from voices with accents from the Indian subcontinent, by the way.BTTechnical Department10 yearsSomeone with an Indian accent was chatting to someone else nearby before cutting the call. They seemed completely unprepared for the call, lacking any proper customer service skills. Pretty clear it's dodgy, especially considering the other comments here.10 yearsI got a call from a woman claiming to be from BT saying my computer was hacked sometime between midnight and 2am. Something about it felt off straight away. When I told her my husband knows a lot about computers, she hung up really fast. Honestly, I reckon she was trying to be the hacker herself.BT10 yearsHad a call today from someone saying they were BT (definitely not true), telling me there was some issue with my internet (also made up), and saying they'd cut my internet off if I didn’t let them “fix” my computer (felt like a threat). I reckon these callers are just kids scraping by on a dollar a day, but the real criminals are whoever’s behind this scam and they should be held accountable.BT10 yearsThey ended up hanging up once I said I couldn’t see anything, totally a scam and they got really annoyed that I wasn’t playing along.10 yearsGot a call from 00971971, sounded like an Indian call centre saying they're from Windows tech support. Seriously tired of these annoying calls.10 yearsCheck online for more info.10 yearsKeep getting these dodgy calls saying they’re from BT saying our accounts been hacked and we need to do stuff online to sort it. They rang my 86 year old nan’s phone - she hasn’t even got internet! We kept them talking while we rang BT ourselves, who confirmed straight away it was a scam. Proper nasty tricks trying to nick personal details.BT10 yearsSomeone called me saying they were Jayne Watson from BT, but it wasn’t from this number. She gave me a different number to ring back, which made me a bit wary. The problem is, I actually logged in before asking for the call back number to check it was legit BT. Now I’m worried - have they got what they need to hack into my stuff?Jayne WatsonBT10 yearsJust like the others here, got a really loud call from a lady with an Indian accent, then a bloke called about three hours later. Both told me my internet was at risk of being cut and claimed to be from BT. I quickly worked out it was a scam, so I just ended the call. I've gone and blocked the number since.10 yearsGot two calls from this number today, one from a bloke and the other from a woman. They both claimed there was some dodgy activity on my internet. When I asked the guy more about it, he actually threatened to disconnect my internet. Totally a scam, no doubt about it.10 yearsGot a ring from a woman with an Indian accent, claiming there was something wrong with my internet. She told me to turn on my laptop, but I told her I didn’t have one. Then she tried to pass me to her "manager," but after a bit, they both just hung up on me.10 yearsGot a call from 00971971, an Indian lady claiming to be from BT tech support (well, different from the usual Windows ones) saying my internet would be cut off for three months. I didn’t ask for details but said I’d call BT to check it out. She then started swearing at me and threatened to disconnect me right away. I phoned BT and got put through to customer service (probably in India?), where the person advised me not to share passwords on the phone (obviously). They say the call centre staff over there are English grads, but seems like they know plenty of rude language too!BTIndia10 yearsAn individual by the name of Alex rang my elderly mother from this number, asking her about her BT internet service. When she mentioned that she did not have any internet access, he bizarrely responded with, "I love you," before abruptly ending the call. Quite peculiar, if you ask me!Alex10 yearsGot a call today from a lady with an Indian accent saying she was from BT. She asked if anyone in the house was using the internet between midnight and 4.30am. I said no, and she claimed my internet had been hacked and wanted to help me fix it to save money. I told her if she was really from BT, she'd know I have unlimited internet and just paid my bill last night with no extra charges. She kept insisting I was being charged loads right now and needed help to sort it. That’s when I cut her off and said, 'I know you’re not from BT, you’re a scammer. Goodbye.'BT10 yearsJust like the comment from 18.5.16, I got a call from a woman with an Indian accent named Jane Watson claiming to be from BT, saying my internet was going to be cut off. When I cut her off to ask why, she didn’t like it at all. I didn’t trust her, so I started laughing and she hung up straight away. Wish there was an option to block these kinds of calls like we can on our mobiles!Jane WatsonBT10 yearsSo, an unknown number from India called me yestarday (1st June) and the lady said something about BT, but I just hung up. Then about 5 minutes ago, the same number rang again but I didnt pick up. Left an answerphone on but no message was left or nothing!!10 yearsGot a call from an Indian woman claiming to be from BT Internet, saying someone was using my internet signal at 2.30 in the morning. I told her I'd ring BT myself to check, and then she just ended the call.BT10 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Indian accent claiming to be from BT, said my internet was compromised. She asked me to turn on my computer so she could access it - seemed really suspicious to me.BT10 yearsGot a call from a guy, sounded like he was Asian, claiming he was from BT saying my computer got hacked overnight by someone unknown. He asked if I was on the computer right now. I told him I wasn’t. Then he told me to head to the PC. I just said no and hung up.BT10 yearsI got a call from an Indian woman saying she was from BT, telling me the same old story as mentioned earlier. When I questioned her, she got really rude and started being abusive.BT10 yearsI got a call from Jane Watson at BT, an Asian woman, saying my broadband was about to be cut off because it was being hacked and some dodgy porn sites were using it every day. She kept telling me to grab my desktop or laptop so she could fix it without disconnecting me. After about 5 minutes of me telling her I only use a tablet, she just told me to f##k off and then hung up. Proper rude!Jane WatsonBT10 yearssome bloke with an english name like watson, probably asian, said he was from bt tech and my internet would get cut if i didnt let him on my pc. for weeks now ive had like 3 or 4 silent or dropped calls every day, real annoying.WatsonBT10 years0097 1971 just called again, some bloke pretending to be from BT Tech Support. Typical rubbish about my PC having issues. I just blocked the number straight away.BTTechnical Team10 yearsA bloke called Albert Williams from BT rang me outta the blue claimin he’s aware my internet’s under attack by hackers and that my online security’s in danger. He said he’d have to switch off my internet for a whole three weeks unless I let him check my files and clear out these so-called 'errors'. When I asked how he was so sure, he just said, “Madam, I JUST KNOW.” Honestly, if only Albert could tell me the winning lottery numbers for Wednesday! That kind of sixth sense is pretty uncommon nowadays.Albert WilliamsBTMadamAlbert10 yearsGot another call from these idiots. HOW IS IT SO HARD TO GET THEM BANNED? THERE MUST BE A LIST WITH THEIR NUMBERS, RIGHT?10 yearsGot a silent ring again, looks like the scam is still very much alive.10 yearsI got a call from an Asian gentleman claiming my internet was under threat and he was from BT. I asked for his full name and told him I'd ring BT straight away to check. He gave me the BT support number 0203290000. The weird bit? He said his name was Alex Matthew - which happens to be the first names of my son. Proper creeped me out!BTAlex Matthew10 yearsGot a call from 00971971. Some bloke with an Asian accent said my internet would be cut off for 3 weeks because of a virus. I knew it was a dodgy call so I just said 'go ahead then.' He then shouted 'Are you the account owner, you f##ker?' and hung up on me.10 yearsReally annoying call from a man with an Asian accent claiming to be from BT. He told me my internet was hacked and asked me to switch on my computer. I told him I don't own one, and he got annoyed, saying he'd end the call and my internet would be cut off for four months. He also gave me the number 02032908987.BT10 yearsTOTAL SCAM alert. This number has rang me quite a few times over the past month. It was the same sort of lady with an Indian accent, pretending to be from BT. She told me my internet would be out for 3 months starting in 2 hours because of a computer virus. She said she could fix it if I let her take control of my PC for a bit. When I questioned her, she got hostile. Tried calling back today (used 1471 to check the number) but the call didn’t go through. Honestly, it's all a load of rubbish, so don’t believe any of it!BT10 yearsGot a phone call earlier today from a woman saying she was Fiona from BT tech support. She told me my IP had been compromised between midnight and 2am. She wanted me to turn on my computer there and then, but I said I was busy and asked her to send me details by email (didn't give her my address, obviously). No surprise, I haven’t got anything from her since.FionaBT10 yearsI keep receiving calls from what seems to be Indian fraudsters, claiming that my account has been compromised and they need me to log in to resolve the issue. They say they’re from BT... as if! I’ve reported them to BT, and they said they’ll blacklist the number, but unfortunately, these crooks have got a whole arsenal of numbers to use. Honestly, it’s infuriating; I’m absolutely tired of these pesky calls!BT10 yearsReceived a phone call today from someone pretending to be from BT's technical support. Even at the age of 79, I firmly told them to shove off!BT10 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian accent (said he was from BT or something), kept calling me "Mam" even though I’m definitely a bloke. Now I just blow my referee whistle into the phone - works a treat, they hang up quick enough. Not sure if anyone else has noticed, but some of these scammers are getting really quite rude recently. I’ve been told to F##k off more times than I can count.BTMadam10 yearsI’ve been experiencing calls from individuals claiming to be from BT, both men and women. It’s the same old trick-something about being hacked and urging me to power up my computer so they can ‘resolve’ the issue. Classic con artist behaviour!BT10 yearsReceived yet another pesky call on our landline this afternoon-it's the fourth one already! This time, the caller's number actually showed up on the screen. Quite the nuisance, isn’t it?10 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Indian accent telling me my computer was infected with a virus that had screwed up my BT Internet. The weird thing is, I don't even use BT Internet, so I instantly thought it was dodgy. But then I remembered I’ve had trouble sending emails to BT addresses lately, which made me pause and wonder if there was some truth to it after all!BT10 yearsSimilar experience here. I got called from 00203151485 by someone with a strong Indian accent, saying it was from my BT. Claimed my internet got hacked overnight even though my PC was off. Told me to switch on my computer and press some keys. I just hung up and turned the answerphone on. After that, they kept calling like 6 or 7 times from 00971971 - kept cancelling and calling back when the answerphone kicked in. The messages left were brief and you could hear what sounded like a call centre in the background.BT10 yearsGot a call from a woman who said she wasn’t with BT, pretty much like others have said here. She gave the name Fiona Thompson and said I could verify by ringing 02032908987. I didn’t bother calling back. Later, I got another call from 00971971 but didn’t pick up. I’ve fallen for scams like this before, so I’m on to these sorts of dodgy calls now - and yes, she had an Asian accent.Fiona ThompsonAsia10 yearsHad a call from some woman from India warning me about a computer virus or something. When I told her I wasn’t falling for it, she got all nasty and started calling me dumb. These scam calls are just the worst!India10 yearsGot two calls from this number today, both saying our BT internet was hacked and would get cut off. They said they could help sort it out if I switched my computer on. Both callers spoke with strong accents that were hard to follow - funny thing is, when I called BT to double-check, the advisor had a pretty similar accent and was tricky to understand too! After a bit of effort, we figured out the number isn’t connected to BT at all.BT10 yearsThis morning, a woman rang up claiming to be from TalkTalk. She said I had to follow some instructions on my computer right away or else I'd be without internet for three weeks because apparently my computer was hacked. She was quite aggressive and shouting, which immediately made me suspicious it was a scam. Then she just hung up. Proper unsettling!TalkTalk10 yearsGot a call earlier from some bloke claiming he was from BT and said my account was being hacked. He wanted my info but I didn't fall for it. Asked him his name and he just made up some rubbish so I told him to jog on.BT10 yearsHe mentioned he was with BT and that he'd be offline for three days due to some hacking issues. Unfortunately, the line was terrible and he ended up getting cut off before I could hear much more. Quite frustrating, really!BT10 yearsGot a call from a woman with a strong foreign accent telling me she was from BT's tech support. She claimed my internet would be disconnected for three months within a couple of hours. It was hard to understand her, and it felt very fishy, so I just ended the call straight away. Thinking of contacting BT later to report it since it seemed like a scam.BT11 yearsA lady called claiming to be from BT, saying there was something wrong with my computer. I asked to talk to her manager. Then a bloke with a similar Indian accent came on. I told him my neighbours warned me about a scam going round and the cops were involved. He tried to get me to switch my computer on, but I said no. He just hung up on me.BT11 yearsGot two calls from 00971971 today, but luckily my BT Call Guardian blocked em both. It’s really helped cut down the nuisance calls, went from like 10 a day to just 10 every month now.BT Call Guardian11 yearsIt’s clear that when these individuals neglect to relay a message, it indicates that chatting with us isn't high on their list of priorities. I can’t help but feel the same way about them!11 yearsCalls from "INTERNATIONAL" already blocked, so my phone stayed quiet. Pretty clear that number's fake. Think I might disconnect the blocker for a while and have a bit of fun messing with these annoying parasites.11 yearsThey've rung me like five times in the last couple days. Twice they just called and hung up right away. When I try to call back, it says the number isn’t valid. It’s really frustrating because they claim to be from BT or say they need to sort something out. I wanna tell them off but I guess everyone needs to earn money somehow. Honestly, just stop phoning me already.BT11 yearsHey everyone, this is totally a scam. Some guy said he was from BT and said my internet was being hacked. After chatting for ages and doing what he said, he suddenly told me to “f##k Off.” That’s when I realised it wasn’t BT at all. Just a heads up, you can always check your broadband usage yourself and get in touch with BT directly if you have any issues.BT11 yearsMy phone ignores calls from numbers I don’t recognise, it just notifies me I missed a call and shows the number, which I then look up on Google. I got four phones for about 70 quid on eBay and honestly, best investment ever since I live alone and hate getting bothered by those annoying calls. Hope this is helpful! I also use caller ID.Google11 yearsOh, here we go again!11 yearsI'm not sure whether it was really BT or some kind of scam but it freaked me out how they seemed to know loads about my computer and personal stuff! How do they get that info?11 yearsGot a call from a bloke with Dutch or German accent claiming to be from BT saying my internet was getting hacked. He wanted me to sit by my computer so he could guide me through fixing it. Told him I’d been warned it’s a daft idea and ended the call.BT11 years"BLOCKED THE 'INTERNATIONAL' NUMBER, YET I do find it rather entertaining to keep these pesky nuisances hanging on."11 yearsGot a call from an Indian lady who said she was from BT and told me my internet got hacked.BT11 yearsThey said they worked for BT and there was an issue with my internet, but their accent was really hard to catch.BT11 yearsI completely echo the sentiments expressed earlier. It seems we're all on the same page here!11 yearsWe got a call from 00971971 this morning, both times the caller ID was hidden but later showed up. When I answered the second time, I said 'police station' and the woman seemed a bit nervous, asked if it really was the police, then hung up straight away!11 yearsThis number rang me a couple times. No one talked, just some robot voice saying "goodbye." Bit spooky, looks like spam to me.11 yearsJust got a call from this number. The person said they were from BT and told me there was an issue with our BT internet. I tried telling them we dont even have BT internet (knew straight away it was a scam, stayed calm tho). Then they got really rude and started calling me a bloody idiot. Not very nice at all!BT11 yearsI got a call from 00971971, an Indian woman claiming to be from BT. She said my phone line was hacked and even mentioned my IP address, giving me numbers which I haven't verified. I told her I thought it might be a scam, and she (called Angel) told me to call her back on 020-32903398. She also said her ID was 00086. I haven't phoned back yet.Angel11 yearsGot the usual call from some "BT" guy from India, telling me I’ve been hacked. Played along for a bit, then they asked me to download some software so they could get into my computer and sort it out. Yeah, no chance. When I refused, the bloke said he’d note down my IP and take it further. Like that’s gonna happen!11 yearsThis 00971971. number keeps ringing me multiple times every day, sometimes as early as 5am. I have caller ID so I just ignore it, but honestly it's really getting on my nerves.11 yearsgot a call from a lady who sounded indian - kept going on about my internet being hacked or something like that. said she was from...11 yearsGot a call from 00971971 at 9 this morning. I picked up but there was total silence on the line.11 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Indian accent saying my ‘internet’s been hacked’. She claimed to be from BT. Pretty sure it was just another scam.BTSubmit Your Own Report (971)
