Complete rip off, honestly!

I've just experienced a similar phone call myself. The bloke on the other end got rather irate when I declined to enter information on my computer to obtain some supposed security number. After that, I decided to put an end to the conversation and hung up. Not long after, he rang me again-barely two minutes later! I confronted him about the fact it was a scam, and lo and behold, he ended the call on his end.

I got a rather dodgy call this morning from someone claiming to be from BT OPENREACH. It was obviously a scam related to my internet speed. I ended the conversation, but the chap rang me straight back. When I mentioned I wasn't keen on the offer, I terminated the call once more. To my surprise, he tried again and threatened to disconnect my broadband if I hung up yet again. That really riled me up, and I laid into him quite hard, after which he didn’t bother ringing again. It’s a bit unsettling how aggressive he was; I can't help but think about how someone more susceptible might have reacted. Just a heads up to everyone to stay vigilant!

A guy with an Asian accent called me, claiming to be from BT Openreach fixing my internet. I wasn't having any of it and told him straight he was just making it up and to shove off (I might have been a bit blunt). Honestly, do these scammers expect us to be polite with them?

I received a call from a chap with what I would describe as an Asian accent, claiming to represent BT Openreach. When I mentioned I only rely on 4G for my mobile connection, he insisted my provider was Virgin. I corrected him, stating that wasn’t the case. He then proceeded to suggest it was SKY. At that point, it became clear he was rather clueless. Definitely felt like a dodgy scam call to me!

Just like others have experienced, I received a call from someone claiming to be from BT Openreach, who insisted my modem was performing poorly. He eventually managed to provide me with a lengthy 31-digit number related to my computer - not that it helped much since we have four computers in the house! He seemed rather impatient, expecting me to drop everything and sort it out immediately. When I told him I was preoccupied and would look into it later, it took me ages to get his name, which turned out to be DAVID SPERALL (he had a strong Asian accent). He even gave me a callback number [1229871076], but after a drawn-out conversation lasting over 20 minutes, he snapped at me and said I was wasting his time. Perhaps it was because I mentioned that I was stopping him from conning someone else, at which point he abruptly hung up. I've since confirmed with BT Openzone that they definitely do not reach out to customers about computers or speed issues, much like Microsoft.

Beware of these con artists! A chap claiming to be from BT, or perhaps Teamviewer 12, has been ringing me up, pushing for remote access to my device. It’s alarming! They went on about how I was owed a refund and bizarrely sought to delve into my bank account. Luckily, we managed to thwart their attempts. Then, they switched gears, insisting we needed to buy something to sort out our laptop woes. When we firmly declined, they locked us out of our laptop, leading to a painful restoration process - and we ended up losing irreplaceable photos of our granddaughter and of my partner's father, who had recently passed away after a long fight with cancer. It's nothing short of distressing!

got a call from someone saying they were from Openreach but it seemed fishy, defo a scammer!

Imposter masquerading as someone from OpenReach - apparently, my broadband speed is compromised... Played along for a couple of minutes, but honestly, who has the time for this nonsense?
