6 yearsBest to just ignore it or end the call quickly.6 yearsI just got a call from a woman with a strange accent telling me I’d won a couple of tickets to any lap dancing club I fancied. Then out of nowhere, she let out this loud, disgusting fart, blaming it on some biryani she’d eaten earlier. Absolutely bizarre!8 yearsWe learnt the hard way how risky this can be, all because my hubby had no clue what an IP address even meant. They were seriously convincing and sounded really legitimate. We're not daft or anything, usually quite cautious with these sorts of calls. If these folks ring you, just make sure to block them straight away.8 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier, the bloke said he was John from BT. Then he asked if I recalled chatting with him the other day, but back then he claimed to be John Matthew from Sky, ringing from 0748083355 or something like that. Honestly, I had no clue who he was meant to be working for! Told him to stop messing about and hung up on the muppet.JohnBTJohn MatthewSky8 yearsToday I got a call from this number claiming to be from BT internet security. The bloke gave his name as james7536. I rang BT directly and they confirmed it was a scam. The caller had a very thick Indian accent, which was really hard to follow. Honestly, who’d want that kind of accent representing a major service like BT? These scammy types really deserve to be blocked completely, wouldn’t mind if they couldn’t even breathe or reproduce.BTSecurity8 yearsGot a call back in April 2018, sounded like one of those automated robotic voices from the US, just like everyone else has been saying.8 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were with BT, but they sounded dodgy right away so I just hung up!BT8 yearsjust got a voicemail with an american voice warning that my ip address was hacked by multiple countries. said my line would be cut off in about 2448 hours. told me to press one to speak with someone about my case and mention code 7536. the call came from 01467422766, which is an Inverurie number.8 yearsGot a call from 01467422766, Inverurie, with this robotic voice speaking with an American accent. It said my IP address was hacked by multiple countries and I’d be cut off within 2448 hours. They told me to press one to get connected to the case manager and give the code 7536. Seemed dodgy to me.Inverurie8 yearsI had the same experience. The number showing up was 01997 941589. Tried to put a report in with Action Fraud but honestly, their site and the whole reporting thing is rubbish.Action Fraud8 yearsI had a call from someone claiming to be BT saying my IP address was at risk. I gave BT a ring afterwards and they confirmed it was a con job. Best to just ignore any messages like that, they’re definitely trying to scam you.BT8 yearsTotally a con artist, don’t believe a word!8 yearsGot a call from 01217900118 with some American voice warning me my IP was compromised. Honestly, it sounds so fake. There's no way BT would send out crazy alerts like that.BT8 yearsI got a call from 02087627720 around 2.20pm on 20/04/2018. It was an automated voice claiming to be Michael from British Telecom, saying my IP address was hacked or something, then told me to press 1 to speak to someone. Definitely looks like a scam trying to get into your computer. Avoid!MichaelBT8 yearsTotal scam, mate. I wouldn’t trust a single thing that bloke’s saying.Submit Your Own Report (0121 790 0118)
