Got a few calls from someone claiming to be BT Support, about 3 times. The first call I told them to call back later that day, which they did. They then mentioned that my phone number was apparently being used online and asked me to grab my laptop. I said no and ended the call. They rang again saying I’d ignored their messages (which I never got) and pressured me again to get my laptop. I flat out refused and said I don’t do internet stuff over the phone, then hung up. Haven’t heard from them since. Definitely seems fishy to me.

This number, 01179506598, kept ringing me like seven times but always ended the call before I even got to pick up. When I tried calling it back, all I got was a message saying the mailbox was full. Pretty strange, if you ask me.

So BT rang me outta the blue to say my internet was down, which is weird coz they aren't even my provider. When I get a bit bored, I ask a bunch of questions and usually the chat goes downhill fast - had them hang up on me once, which was quite cheeky. If I'm in a rush or just not in the mood, I usually just tell them "I don't have broadband," and that seems to do the trick too.

Got a call from a lady with an Indian accent saying there was an issue with my internet. When she told me to switch on my computer, I said the screen’s showing ‘this is a scam,' and that I'd be ringing the police. She hung up straight away after that.

I received a call from this number, and the person on the other end claimed to represent Microsoft, stating there were issues with my internet connection that required him to remotely access my computer to resolve. His accent was quite pronounced and distinctly Indian, which immediately raised my suspicions. Thankfully, being a former IT lecturer, I quickly recognised it as a scam and didn't fall for his ruse.

They called me a couple times even after I told them not to. When I asked them to stop, they just said they’d call again another time. Really annoying, won’t accept me saying no.

Some bloke called Wayne Thompson rang, speaking with a thick Indian accent, saying he was from BT. He started talking about dodgy stuff happening between midnight and 3 in the morning, like others have mentioned here. I played along for a bit, telling him my phone was disconnected because I was shifting furniture, just to entertain myself for a few minutes.

Got a call from someone claiming to be BT, going on about some issue with my router. I just laughed and said if they wanted to scam me, they'd better work on sounding more believable. They ended up just hanging up!

They just ignored all the rubbish I shouted at them, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now. Honestly, I can’t figure what they hope to gain from bothering folks like this. With all the warnings out there, it’s baffling anyone could fall for their nonsense these days.

Someone claiming to be from BT Help called me and told me to visit this site: [#]btsupport2.webs[###]. When I said I would ring back using the official BT number to make sure it was legit, they just ended the call straight away.

The same thing happened to me actually. They claimed someone was on my internet from 12am to 3am. They wanted me to turn my computer on so they could put some sort of code in to stop it. I told them I'd check with BT first and then just ended the call.

Some bloke rang saying he was from BT, told me to switch on me computer, then kept asking about what kind of Windows I had and if it was a Mac. I sussed it was dodgy right away so just put him on hold for a bit. Didn’t take long for him to hang up, guess he got bored!

Just been rung up by a bloke with a thick Indian accent saying he was from BT tech support. He mentioned they were from the BT Office at New Gate or something like that.
