After brushing off this number a couple of times, I decided to do a bit of digging online. As a BT customer, I only use this line for my broadband - nothing else at all. So I can't help but wonder, where on earth did they get my number from? Is BT perhaps offloading our numbers and then trying to make a quick buck by selling us an expensive service to block these pesky calls? Just a thought! I’ll carry on ignoring the calls.

I've got to say, I've been using Call Guardian, just like one of those who responded before me. It set me back £70.00 for coverage on four devices, but I can honestly say they have been a godsend for someone like me-76 years young, a lady, and living solo. I wholeheartedly recommend this service to anyone in a similar boat; they’ve completely eliminated the nuisance of unwanted calls from my life. Those pesky callers aren’t even permitted to leave a message or harass you. Absolutely fantastic!

This bloke had a classic Indian accent claiming he was from BT, but I was pretty iffy about it, especially with call centre sounds in the background. The call got diverted to my mobile and I couldn’t see his number. I told him I didn't have proof it was really BT and asked if he could ring me back with a proper number. A few hours later another call came through but it was totally quiet - probably scamming other people who picked up before me, while I just had to wait my turn! I hung up and honestly think you lot should do the same.

I received a call from a lady with an Indian accent purporting to represent BT. I let her ramble on for what felt like ages, and then I couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all. She must have caught the sound of my laughter and promptly ended the call. Just to clarify, I wasn't even a BT customer when she rang! It's about time someone tackled these nuisance calls without making it a financial burden for the public!

Got a call from a woman saying she was from BT asking for personal details. I had nothing better to do so I decided to mess with her and kept her chatting for ages. While she was busy with me, no one else got bothered. Spent over 10 minutes on the phone just talking nonsense for fun. She reckoned she’d got me, but nah. A few days earlier, I had another call that just ended with a quick goodbye - probably just testing the waters. BE CAREFUL FOLKS, JUST IGNORE AND HANG UP!

This morning, that same pesky number had another go at contacting us! Fortunately, they didn’t manage to get through because we’ve invested in a BT call-blocking telephone! It set us back roughly 60 quid for a pair of handsets, and with a monthly fee of under a fiver for caller ID, it’s a brilliant solution! The phone doesn’t even bother ringing when unwanted callers try their luck! Those dodgy international or withheld numbers? Not a chance! I relish the evenings when I can review the blocked number list; it's absolutely delightful to wipe them all off the list!

I usually just ignore them and have blocked about 15 calls like this in the past few months. Every time I block one, another one pops up the following week. I'm really sick of these annoying p###### ringing me. BT mentioned they got some plans, but you'd think there’d be a better way to put an end to it.

I received a call from this number recently, and of course, I decided to engage the caller in conversation. What struck me as interesting was how the scam seemed more plausible, given that when I typed 'my 1p address location' into Google, it actually showed a legitimate address in California. I find it puzzling that the scammer insists on saying '1p' when 'ip' would yield the same results. When I tried the same search on Bing, I got the correct address without the fuss. It makes me wonder if I’m actually being directed to a Google server’s address. I even confirmed that the IP it claims to be mine is genuinely registered to Google. If this is the best Google can manage, perhaps they ought to reconsider their claims.

I received a rather dubious call today at 12:09. A lady with an Asian accent rang me up, insisting that my BT Internet had been compromised. I allowed her to ramble on for a bit before firmly pointing out that she was clearly trying to pull a fast one. Despite her denials, I eventually revealed that I didn’t even have a BT account. That seemed to do the trick; she abruptly ended the call without uttering another sound. Quite the experience!

I received a trio of phone calls this morning within just a few hours. Each time I picked up, there was silence on the other end, prompting me to hang up.

These individuals are certainly still operating! I received a phone call just today from someone claiming to be from "BT," insisting that my internet IP had been compromised and warning me that I could potentially lose service for half a year, all because my connection was supposedly based in California. I pressed him for the specific internet address that was supposedly impacted, and he rattled off some number like 66.xx.xx.xx. That’s not even remotely close to the actual external address I can see on my router. Then, without a moment's hesitation, he just hung up on me!

I've noticed that this number keeps ringing me, but whenever I answer, there's a frustrating silence for about half a minute before I either hear a brief 'hello' followed by a click or a quick 'goodbye' before they disconnect.

They're supposed to ring back tomorrow, so I'm ready. Come on then, you SCAMMERS!

Just like the others said, caller claimed to be from BT and insisted our computer was being used by someone in California. Said if it wasn’t fixed today, we’d be off BT’s system for six months. Kept asking for my IP code but I started firing questions back, then he said someone would come round before 5pm with the police because apparently having two connections is illegal. I told him I’d be ready for that! Really pushy bloke with no clue that I was being sarcastic or suspicious. Proper scary for older or vulnerable people to handle calls like that.

My father-in-law got a scam call on his 88th birthday, with someone pretending to be from BT saying his internet was about to be cut off for six months. He handed the phone to me, and I asked for some ID. They told me to call BT and gave me a code, DE624, to confirm him over the BT switchboard. I ended the call and was just about to ring BT, but they kept calling back non-stop for like 10 minutes, making it impossible to check. So I used my mobile to search their number instead.

I've been reporting scam calls and emails to Action Fraud, TalkTalk, and the banks or companies scammers pretend to be for more than 4 years. Usually, all I get is a quick "thanks for reporting" message, and then nothing changes - my reports just seem to disappear into some data pool. Even after all this time, I still get bombarded by the exact same dodgy emails and phone calls.

I’ve had a rather similar experience with the number 0098053466. The reason for their call matched yours to a tee. When I inquired about the caller’s identity and phone number, they identified themselves as Ron Taylor from BT, giving me the number 02032873290. Now, that's a London-based number, but it’s actually a virtual line designed to make it seem like the call is originating from the capital, while it effectively forwards the call to any number they like. Quite cheeky, isn’t it? And isn't it peculiar that 0098 is the international code for Iran!

She insisted that my internet connection was sending out troubling signals and suggested it might need to be cut off.

I quickly realised she was not being truthful, so I called her out on it and promptly ended the conversation.

My elderly neighbour has been getting calls from this number quite a lot today and before as well. Whenever he picks up, a lady’s voice asks “who is this?” and then just cuts the call.
