Ignored the call, total muppets.

Last night (6th June 2018), this number rang my elderly parents’ home. Luckily, my mum quickly ended the call. I've now blocked the number through BT’s call blocking service.

Got a call from an automated system, and the voice said her name was Shirley, just like everyone else mentioned here. Quite obvious it's a bot doing the rounds.

Sounds like another one of those classic online cons.

Got a call from this number and made sure to file a complaint on the ICO Nuisance calls page (just search it on Google!). Honestly, it’s important to report these calls because the more reports a number gets, the better the chances the ICO will take action against it.

Had the same thing happen, got two calls from this number. Looks like a total scam, best just to block it or don't answer.

Same old story. I heard that if you hit ##### loads of times, the system thinks you're a fax machine and leaves you alone. I tried it out and it just dropped the call.

Just like a few others have said, I got this automated call with an American accent telling me my internet was going to be cut off in a day because there was a security issue. They told me to press 1 if I wanted to speak to a tech. I just hung up straight away.

The number looked unfamiliar so I just let it ring out. Had a feeling it might be one of those shady calls, and turns out I was spot on. Blocked it straight away.

I got a voicemail from a US lady, sounded like it was connected to the last call I had from 02935687410. She was saying they’d shut off my BT internet soon. Problem is, I’m not with BT for my internet at all!

Got a call from a robotic voice warning me my internet service would be disconnected soon.

I got a call from some dodgy number with a fake mid-Atlantic accent pretending to be my internet company. They warned me they’d cut off my service because apparently my IP address was hacked or something. They didn’t even say which provider they were from! I quickly sussed it was a con and ended the call. Honestly, how do they think anyone buys into such a rubbish scam?

Got the same message just now about my internet being hacked and to press 1. Classic scam, just with a bit of a different angle this time.

People who just ignore you like this.. how do you even handle that? It’s so frustrating when someone gives you the silent treatment!

Same here! The call just hangs up if you dont hang up first. You’ve gotta end the call yourself, then put them on block.

Got one of those calls too, with some voice saying to hit 1 to talk to a tech. Honestly, it feels like a trap and could easily fool someone into a bad situation. Like always, just blocked the number straight away.

My elderly neighbour got a call from some automated voice warning their internet was hacked, telling them to press 1 to speak to an agent. Pretty obvious scammer trying to trick them.

Got a call from this number today. A lady speaking with an American accent claimed my internet would be disconnected within a day unless I pressed 1 to fix it. Total scam, no doubt. I’ve blocked the number straight away!

Got a call from 01142967899 saying my broadband would be cut off in the next day if I didn’t sort things out. Pretty annoyed, sounded a bit dodgy to me!

Someone rang me yesterday claiming to be from BT and tried to get my other half to mess with the computer so they could supposedly get remote access. Then they started asking about online banking info. I told my partner straight away it was a scam. This morning, they had the nerve to call back from another phone number but got told off good. Honestly, best thing to do is hang up immediately or report them - they’re just a bunch of timewasters.

Got a call around 1 in the afternoon from 01142967899 telling me my internet provider was under attack from abroad and that my service was gonna be cut off. They wanted me to press 1 to speak to some tech expert. I just ended the call straight away and decided to just ignore it.

Got a robo call saying my IP address was hacked or something and to press 1 to talk to a person. Definitely a scam, no way I was picking up on that.

Like others have said, these scams have moved on to using local phone numbers because people are more inclined to answer them than ones from outside their area. Honestly, you’d think by now no one would be tricked by this sort of thing.

Earlier today, just before 9am, I got a call from 01142967899. The person on the phone said if I didn’t press 1 to speak to a technician, my internet would be cut off. I didn’t trust it and hung up straight away. Seems like a total scam, so watch out if you get a call from that number!
8 years
I just got a recorded call from a woman with an American accent saying my IP address was at risk and that I’d be cut off unless I hit 1 to speak with a techie! I didn’t press anything and the call ended on its own. This isn’t the first time either, had almost the exact call a few months back as well.

I answered the phone and all I heard was complete silence.

They just kept saying the same thing over and over, trying to frighten me into hitting one. Total scare tactic nonsense.
