8 yearsThis number rang me yesterday at 12:36, but I missed the call.8 yearsGot a call from a guy claiming to be with BT tech support. He asked me to look at something right in front of me in a really smug, know-it-all way. Said I had an unstable internet connection - seriously? I said it wasn’t BT, but he insisted it was all about the phone lines. Mentioned I work in IT and run a business that’s passed PCI compliance. When I told him I use a dongle, he got even more condescending. So I told him to just hang up ’cause he was being a total muppet. Had a good giggle with my son afterwards.BT8 yearsI didn’t pick up and no message was left either. It’s weird because this is a new number I’ve only just got, not from BT or anything, and I haven’t shared it with anyone yet! Makes me wonder how they found it.BT8 yearsGot a call from some bloke in India who reckons my computer was hacked and that they can control the whole internet across the UK. Like, seriously? How daft are these people! If no one puts a stop to it, someone’s bound to fall for this rubbish and get scammed.UK8 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming to be from BT. He was banging on about all these hackers and spammers, trying to get me to protect my internet. Then he seemed shocked I didn’t own a PC, laptop, tablet or iPhone. After that, he said I couldn’t have internet either, because if he was legit BT, he’d know that already. We went back and forth a bit till he suddenly said he’d cut off my internet for 10 months. Obviously he wasn’t serious, since I’m still online and typing this now.BT8 yearsGot a call on this number earlier, some bloke said he was from BT.BT8 yearsI don't really know, every time I pick up the phone, the person just ends the call straight away.8 yearsGot a call from some numpty with a proper thick Indian accent saying they were from BT. Honestly, why does BT let these dodgy blokes keep mucking about and getting through? It’s proper annoying!BT8 yearsGot a voicemail from an Indian woman claiming my internet would be disconnected in a day because of some spam calls. She said to press 1 to avoid it and that an engineer would set up a new line. Seemed fishy to me.8 yearsGot a call twice from a woman with an Indian accent claiming to be from BT. The line was really bad and full of background noise. It felt like a total scam, so I said I didn’t have broadband or a computer and they just hung up on me.BT8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be an engineer from BT, spoke with a thick Indian accent. If you’re not good with tech stuff, this could be a right trap - they might trick you into letting them into your wifi or computer. How do these numbers even get assigned? I’m going to report this to Action Fraud at 0300 123 2040.BTAction Fraud8 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be a BT technician.

Seems like these scammers never give up, especially the ones pretending to be from big companies. Definitely felt like one of those usual scams.BT8 yearsGot two calls today. I just cut off the first straight away. Then, an hour later, got another ring. Could hear loads of noise behind the woman’s voice, sounded Indian. She went on about my BT phone line. I was like, “Not now!” and dropped the call. Thinking maybe next time I’ll say, “This call is being recorded.” see if that puts ’em off.8 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Indian accent who was shouting over loads of background noise, saying she was from BT.
