Somebody called saying my BT Internet was hacked, which is odd cos I don’t even use BT. When I asked them “how do you know that then?” they just ended the call. This isn’t the first time I’ve had calls like that on my phone.

They're not showing the actual number they're calling from. Seeing the feedback for 01269 849929 makes it clear: some say "BT blacklist number and 1471 don't match. The blacklist showed one number, but the last call on 1471 came from a different one: 01226236640". Sounds like it's an Indian call centre behind this, running a few different scams. You might want to think about informing the ICO, or if the call was just silence, maybe get Ofcom involved too.

These dodgy call centre scams from India are really preying on vulnerable folks. The authorities seriously need to crack down on these crooks.

Got two calls from this number but both times no message was left. Doesn’t ring any bells for me.

Someone rang me asking for the ‘lady of the house,’ but when I asked who they were, they just dropped the call straight away!

Got a call that was completely silent, they just hung up pretty much straight away. I’ve blocked the number and reported it now.

I told the person on the other end my name, but when I asked who was calling, the line went dead straight away!

Annoying call from some random telemarketer wanting to push their stuff on me that I never asked for. Total pain.

I picked up the phone to hear a bloke with an Asian accent introducing himself as Tony. He was speaking rather rapidly and I couldn't quite catch where he was calling from. When I requested him to slow down and clarify his location, he abruptly ended the call! I had a hunch it was a dodgy scam, so I’ve dumped the number straight into my junk folder!

Got called out of the blue today, and it's the second time this happened.

Didn’t pick up since the number was unfamiliar, it ended up on my voicemail. Could hear heaps of voices chatting away, definitely sounded like a call centre.
