9 yearsI told them I’d ring back later, but then they handed me the number 000000000 and just slammed the phone down on me! Looks like a scam to steal your internet info.

He tried the usual crap, claiming my internet was compromised and said he was from BT, quoting some random number like that made it legit. When I called him out and said I knew it was a scam, he got proper nasty. Then I asked him how he could live with himself, tricking and stealing from innocent folks.

They gave me this massive code and told me to press ctrl-D on my computer to check something. When I mentioned I was using a Mac, they said they’d pass me to a senior tech. They kept talking about the IP address of the ‘hacker’, so I asked for the exact IP and said I knew a bit about computers. Next thing, they just hung up on me. Pretty sure they realised they couldn’t trick me into taking control of my machine!BT Broadband9 yearsA lady called pretending to be from BT, saying my internet was at risk from hackers or some sort of malicious activity.
