7 yearsEvery morning without fail, this number 0117 965 0796 rings up threatening to cut off my elderly mum's internet. It’s causing her loads of unnecessary stress, and honestly, it’s just not on. Such behaviour is really appalling.Shirley7 yearsGot a call but when I answered, no one was there on the other end. Nothing but silence.7 yearsSomebody rang up saying they were from BT, warning that our internet would get cut off because it was supposedly hacked. It was my mum who picked up, lucky I was around to step in. They asked her to use her laptop, definitely trying to get into our devices and personal info. Even after telling them to buzz off, they've kept ringing all day from the same number.BTMum7 yearsJust got a call, it was some kind of automated message saying my IP address might be at risk. Total nonsense if you ask me. Whatever you do, don’t hit 1 to speak to the “engineer” - it’s a scam!7 yearsTrust me, do NOT hit 1 if you get a call like this. It’s just a trick to get you caught in their scam. They want you to freak out so you’ll react without thinking. Just ignore it completely!7 yearsSomebody called saying they were from my internet company and threatened to disconnect my service if I didn’t sort something out.7 yearsObviously just another scam call.7 yearsGot a call from a number I think was trying to scam me, but luckily my call blocker saved me. Really appreciate all the feedback about these ############.7 yearsGot a call from a woman named Shirley who claimed to be from some Internet company, didn’t catch which one exactly. She told me my IP address was being used all over the world and needed sorting right away. She said I should hit 1 to speak to a techie. Sounds like a classic scam, to me. I bet the “technician” would try to hack into my computer or steal my info if I went along with it.Shirley7 yearsI got a call about twelve minutes ago but as soon as I picked up, they just hung up on me.7 yearsLately, loads of calls have been coming in from people like 'Shirley' warning that my internet's gonna get cut off today. I've been getting this kind of call a lot recently. Honestly, don’t follow any instructions they give you.Shirley7 yearsGot a voicemail from someone called 'Shirley' saying my internet’s going to be disconnected in a day. It told me to press 1 to speak to their engineer.Shirley7 yearsGot a call on 25/2/19 at about 9:15 in the morning from someone pretending to be BT Internet.
